Abstract
A database of Japanese fishing vessel casualty records has been constructed in order to analyse trends in flooding, capsizing or sinking accidents. The data was collected from decisions of the Japanese Disaster Inquiry Agency during the period 1978-1987. Some characteristic patterns have been derived for different types and sizes of fishing vessel. The main cause of fishing vessel accidents in rough weather is shipping water, which appears to be independent of the wave encounter angle of the head, the beam and following (including quartering) seas.
