    Accidents happen all the time, literally, you're only hearing the tip of the iceberg. Shipping is a dangerous and difficult industry with an improving track record. As long as there are ships at sea there will be collisions, allisions and deaths.

    Really , massive tankers suddenly go astray and crash into other massive ships and massive bridges, maybe they should use what the airlines have used for nearly a hundred years ,

    What about the reefer that grounded off the Hebrides on Monday night, or the sailors killed in a rocket attack in Odessa yesterday. Any thoughts on those two incidents?

    Please elaborate as to what you think airlines have, even now, as navigation aids and in particular what they had nearly 100 years ago?
