A need for big data sets for extreme wave loadings was identified. An innovative wave-current flume was built, enabling long-running experiments with irregular waves and forward velocity. Large amounts of greenwater data are obtained from this facility. From the data, the distributions of the occurrence of greenwater and the pressures caused by greenwater are found. With this information an equation for the probability of pressure exceedence on deck due to greenwater for certain sea states, sailing times, drafts and forward velocities is formulated.
