Potentially extremely risky realistic rogue waves - also called as freak waves - can now be controlled and generated at will in laboratory environments,in similar conditions as they appear in the ocean. This will befriend us not only to predict oceanic extreme events, but also in the design of safer ships and offshore rigs. In fact, or newly designed vessels and rig model prototypes can be tested to encounter in a small scale,before they are built, realistic extreme ocean waves. Therefore, and initial plans may change,if models are not resistant enough to face suddenly occurring freak waves.
