There are also source of loss, nothing can be done against. One can not even predict them.

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.

Surely the gas-producing seafloor distribution can also be studied and modeled.

How many incidents of this have there been? I've heard of the theory, but no actual losses attributed to it.
