2008 Ship Incidents Visulized In Words

By John Konrad On December 31, 2008

The above image is a wordle extraction of the keywords found in this year’s Casualties Report List. The link speaks for itself but to summarize… it’s been a very unsafe year for the average mariner. Please take a moment to understand the magnitude of this year’s statistics and work on ways to make next year’s list considerably shorter.

Have a good idea or would like to share your specific insight into the problem. Please summarize it in an article of less than 1000 words and submit it to gCaptain. We will take the best articles and post them here on the blog.
