Overboard, Hormuz, and the Future of Lifeboats

from Cruise News

The search is suspended for a passenger who went overboard from Carnival Splendor, a sober reminder of the human cost of cruise safety. Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz, clearing the way for cruise ships stranded by the closure. And Survitec's Seahaven, a next-generation lifeboat alternative, earns DNV qualification, signaling where evacuation tech is headed.
