It's hard to get to the data but have a look at the latest vessel casualties in the right hand column:

http://www.lloydslistintelligence.com/

Also, the project site leeds to http://coast.gkss.de/projects/maxwave/workp/wp4/wp4.html where you can find a map of ship casualties for a 4 year period http://coast.gkss.de/projects/maxwave/workp/wp4/casualties.j...

I am surprised myself, but 2 a week actually seems low!

Thanks for the links. Googling some of the ships listed as casualties led me to this page http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/News/Home.html

So it looks like the ships are not necessarily lost, and some of them aren't all that big...

Yeah true - I think gravitystorm's comment is quite accurate when it comes down to big vessels.

I did a bit more googling and found this site:

http://www.cargolaw.com/presentations_cas.index.html

Even though it looks this site is hosted on geocities, there are links to current vessel casualties with details to damage, human casualties, etc.
