Would a special type of barbarian unit (storms/icebergs) that only appear
at ocean squares near the poles be another way to solve this? 

The iceberg/storm units should have a moderate attack/def value and be destroyed
after 'combat'. An iceberg unit could appear at random, 'bump' into a nearby
ship. Depending on the attack/defense values the ship would survive the 
collusion.
A set of units that represents the weather elements would be a fun (didn't
SMAC have something similar?) feature.
