How many ships have sunk in the last year?

As of October 2023, specific data on the number of ships that have sunk in the last year is not readily available due to variations in reporting and the types of vessels involved. Instances of sinking can range from large commercial ships to smaller fishing vessels. Maritime organizations and databases may track incidents, but comprehensive statistics are often difficult to compile. For the most accurate and current figures, consulting maritime safety authorities or specialized databases would be necessary.
