| Abstract | ||
| The increased rate of incidents related to maritime safety nowadays has aroused a special focus on fishing vessels’ safety. This heightened attention to safety reflects broader efforts to enhance safety across the maritime sector.The assessment of fishing vessel accidents is of a paramount importance in the realm of maritime safety and sustainable fisheries management. Fishing, an essential economic activity and a critical source of livelihood for millions of people worldwide, involves inherent risks that extend beyond simply catching fish. Accidents involving fishing vessels not only pose immediate threats to the lives of fishermen but also have far-reaching implications for the marine environment, fisheries resources, and the economies of coastal communities. This paper discussed some radical findings of studying fishing vessel safety, causes of accidents in terms of human, and material losses. In addition, the marine environmental pollution occurring in response to these accidents was addressed as well. All data from various sources on fishing vessels during 2014-2019 was statistically examined by Microsoft Excel, and the results were displayed in both graphical and tabular formats. The acquired data during the current study showed a great shortage in safety information for the fishing vessels. | ||
