MORE than 5,000 of the world's leading maritime movers and shakers are expected to descend on Southampton for the next three days as Seawork 2006 arrives at the Canary Islands Fruit Terminal.

Now in its ninth year, Seawork is the largest international commercial maritime exhibition and business forum ever held in a European working port.

This year the exhibition will host the first ever Maritime Jobs Fair to give people a taste of employment opportunities in the marine world. For more details visit www.seawork.com.
