If those are all ocean-going, ten a year is about 1.1%. Depending on how expensive it would be to prevent this, that may not be bad for ship owners, but it is very bad for those seeking a career in working on those ships.

although the parent comment mentioned "longer than 200m" but its difficult to find containership stats by length rather than by TEU.
ignoring that though it would be 0.07% lost per year or 1 out of every 1447.
probably not too surprising, since if you pick 1447 oil tankers/containerships and audit them consider what the worst looking one is going to look like after decades of salt damage and abuse and poor maintenance.
AFAIK rogue waves are called 'rogue' due to their unpredictability.
So in the sense of trying not to die, avoid the Gulf and Agulhas currents, especially when a low blows through.
This coming from an amateur sailor. I believe freight shipping etc just plows through most weather systems in order to avoid delays.
Ocean floor methanhydrate and a volcanic shift, results in tremendous bubble columns, which just open up a shaft that can carry nothing. Water begins to boil, ship falls in, breaks apart... End of story.
How many incidents of this have there been? I've heard of the theory, but no actual losses attributed to it.
The loss of ten ships a year seems incredible to me. Surely "weather" could be avoided.
This amount of loss is steep. Why isn't this being investigated? We should have ocean swell data from every ship that capsizes.
