I actually understand where you are coming from OP. I haven't done ports in ages but when they came out I remember having over 90% success chance on all my missions and most of them failed. At first I believed it was just bad luck that I was RNG rolling into the 1-10% failure chance...but it became way too consistent for that to make sense.

Then in college some friends talked me into this app. I forget the name but it was a wheel you could roll a few times a day and maybe win money. The wheel was near-entirely the "winner!" color with a small sliver that was the failure color. However - the chances of the wheel NOT landing in failure was something like 1%. I kind of wonder if, by intentional design or not, if there is something in the ports code that functions similarly to that dumb app.

Learn what percentages mean; you obviously don't understand them.

Jagex are dumb swine who cant do basic math. Its very irritating when that 98% or 99% chance of success voyage fails like really, dude kiss my ass these percentages are BS

Like 4/10 voyages fail no matter what , change my mind.

Sounds like you're the one who can't do basic math, as you failed to realise that there was a chance of failure.
