If you have GWX Enhanced Damage Effects installed, I think i figured out the trigger for the crash on save game load. Don't save if you have an active wreck in the draw range for the game engine. It happened to me again today and the thing that the two incidents had in common was the fact that I saved it near a wreck that was still rendered (i.e. within 16km of my boat. 8km is you're not using the 16k atmosphere mod.)

Maybe coincidence.

Just got back into sh3 from sh4 after not playing it for 7 years. I installed gwx and some other additional from gold such as the enhanced damage. Sunk a merchant just before deciding to get off. For some reason I thought it might be bad to save from next to the sinking ship and headed off to get some distance. I don't think I put enough distance in to despawn the ship when I saved and excited, so now my save crashes after "not so long ago. " I've been playing for a week straight and this is the only time I've crashed.
