How would you rate the followings in terms of the number of

Unpredictable storms (during long crossings)
No such thing.
Rogue waves
Very rare.
Shipping containers
Keep a lookout.
Whales
Keep a lookout.
Pirates
Stay away from higher risk reas. Look poor.
Icebergs
Keep a lookout. (Not on major cruising routes.
Submarines
Not on the surface. (deep)

Less risky than driving your car to work.
The highest risk for me is getting injured or sick enroute or falling
off the boat.
