The report linked here reports numbers to support the claims made in the article. The report's focus is the sea-worthiness of vessels and not monster waves but the statistics do coincide. Here is some info.

Thanks for the info: "to hear that the APOLLO SEA was the 90th bulk carrier lost in the past 6 years." (From '94). I'm surprised. I'd thought we hear about every sinking.
