As a result of thorough preparations, the vast majority of transports arrive safely at their destination. Sufficient safety margins in the engineering and preparations and improved weather forecasting / weather routing capabilities ensure safe transportation in most cases.
Once the voyage preparations are completed and the vessel is sailing, the master is the only responsible person for the ship and the cargo. The master needs to trust the theoretical figures given by his experts during sailing under pratical conditions. He will be guided during the transport by his own good seamanship and the limits that are defined in the transportation manuals. On board it is virtually impossible to observe the correct wave heights. The actual Roll/ Pitch angles of the transport are visually monitored; accelerations rarely.
