However, since most cases are resolved internally without maritime tribunals, obtaining accurate statistics on accidents is challenging, making quantitative analysis and evaluation of accident risks difficult. Studies using inconsistent analytical methods often fail to converge on unified results or preventive measures, which contributes to the persistently high occurrence of fishing vessel accidents. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a standardized method for analyzing marine accidents on fishing vessels by applying the Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) technique, originally developed for merchant ships. The research focuses on the globally prevalent trap boat fishery, specifically examining common injuries occurring on fishing vessels. Quantitative data were collected from insurance approval records, while qualitative data were obtained through surveys. The research followed the five stages of the FSA framework: hazard identification, risk estimation, identification of risk control options, cost-benefit assessment, and recommendations for decision-making. The findings suggest that the FSA framework can be effectively applied to analyze fishing vessel accidents based on insurance data, leading to selective and effective preventive measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fishes10010030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,14]],"date-time":"2025-01-14T13:49:32Z","timestamp":1736862572000},"page":"30","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Applying Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) to Fishing Vessels: An Analysis of Occupational Injuries on Korean Trap Boats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0987-2561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Su-Hyung","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Training Ship, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1422-4183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seung-Hyun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Training Ship, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6395-8054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyung-Jin","family":"Ryu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Marine Production System Management, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoo-Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Marine Production System Management, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"FAO (2024, October 11).
