In the coastal waters of Jeju, six-year data (2019 – 2024) indicate that fishing vessels under ten tons represented an annual average of 80.89% of accidents, with the distribution by tonnage as 1-5 tons, 5-10 tons, and under one ton. While capsizing and sinking accounted for a smaller fraction of total incidents, their frequency increased annually with sinking observed in 2024 after being absent in the previous five years. Predictive analysis suggests that five or more capsizing events per year should occur after 2024, highlighting the close correlation between vessel stability and accident occurrence. The characteristics of 339 FRP Fishing vessels under ten tons in Jeju waters were analyzed. The length-to-beam ratio (L/B) ranged from 1.857 to 5.013, and the breath-to-depth ratio (B/D) from 1.638 to 5.768 with an average of 3.183. Breath was identified as the primary determinant of vessel length: shorter vessels tended to have smaller L/B and larger B/D ratios. Using multiple regression analysis based on fishing ground departure from the ten test vessels, predicted stability values (GM) revealed 41 vessels (12.09%) with negative stability with values ranging from 0.100 to 0.541 and indicated that beam had the greatest influence. These results indicate that insufficient stability, particularly among vessels under two tons, is closely associated with higher capsizing risk. Consequently, this study proposes practical stability criteria based on regression-estimated values and suggests that Korean regulations should lower the minimum applicability threshold for stability requirements to prevent accidents. Continuous data collection and evaluation are recommended to strengthen vessel safety standards.
