Something that surprised me is that companies are under no obligation to disclose loss of cargo unless it contains dangerous or hazardous goods. [1] I'm sure the fact that they estimate 64 to be Dangerous Goods, and the general magnitude of the number of containers lost has led to this website being setup. Apparently ~1/100,000 containers are lost at sea, which is higher than I might have guessed.
Also, I found the short podcast series Containers [2] to be an interesting introduction to shipments by sea.
