> Research at Imperial College, London, shows that far from being rare events, rogue waves can emerge frequently, and may be responsible for some of the 200 supertankers and container ships longer than 200m that have sunk in poor weather conditions in the past two decades.
The loss of ten ships a year seems incredible to me. Surely "weather", if it were to blame, could be avoided.
This amount of loss is steep. Is it being investigated? We should have ocean swell data beamed to satellite from every ship that capsizes.
