from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8
US President Donald Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be completely open by Friday, but for the shipping industry, restarting normal operations is not as simple as turning the engines back on. We find out what inspections, maintenance and safety checks vessels need after weeks of disruption. We also look at the human side of the crisis. Are seafarers still willing to work near the Strait? Are tanker owners finding it harder to recruit crew? And could safety fears make a global seafarer shortage even worse? Would the UAE ever move towards a UK-style under-16 social media ban? Roblox has officially launched its new Roblox Kids and Roblox Select accounts globally. How does this make the platform safer? And how did a tree many people pass every summer become a city-wide story? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
