In recent year, marine safety has been one of top concerns in Korea. In this paper, general statistics of ship in 159 waterways in Korea from 2007 to 2017 were considered. Main objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between the number of marine accidents and traffic conditions in narrow waterways by multiple regression analysis method. The result shows that the number of vessels, the width, the length and the depth of narrow waterway have an influence on the number of maritime accidents in corresponding area. Additionally, the number of vessels sailing has the most significant impact on the number of accidents in narrow waterway area.
