We spend all this time mapping every rock and reef so ships can sail safely, but you can’t map out human greed or negligence. When one of these 'ghost ships' goes down or blows up, it’s the local ecosystems and the honest mariners who pay the price. The ocean isn't a rug you can just sweep your problems under.
