The ocean, our planet, our climate, and we're only just truly beginning to understand it.
So who knows what impact these shifting currents have had on the great storms in the Dragon's Triangle.
The truth is that, yeah, these waters are dangerous.
In the Dragon's Triangle, Devil's Sea, Mano Umi, or whatever you want to call it, there are dynamic currents, undersea volcanoes, and devastating typhoons.
You need to keep your wits about you.
But is this famed stretch of water any more dangerous than any other part of our ocean?
Well, the Dragon's Triangle, and the Bermuda Triangle for that matter, don't even make the top 10 most dangerous ocean regions in the world.
But then again, it all depends on how you categorize dangerous.
Storms, piracy, shipping accidents, navigational hazards, dragons.
According to Allianz's 2025 Shipping and Safety Review, that was a tough read, I can assure you.
The South China, Indochina, Indonesia and the Philippines region are the main loss hotspots.
Four total losses in 2024, 169 in the past decade, followed by, incredibly, the British Isles and the East Mediterranean and Black Seas.
I'll think twice before swimming to France.
Aha, I hear you say, but isn't the Philippines region where the Dragon's Triangle is?
Well, yes, sort of.
But those numbers aren't just for that relatively tiny area, and they reflect the fact that this is import and export central.
There are huge volumes of shipping traffic passing through every day.
Let's put this into perspective.
During the 1990s, the global fleet lost 200 plus vessels a year.
This is now down to a record low of just 27 in 2024.
