“…Maritime accidents have been an important subject of study in the literature for many years. In particular, some previous work has examined a significant association between fishing vessel accidents and boat length, boat age, weather, sea conditions, visibility, and time of day (Jin et al, 2001;Jin et al, 2002;Wu, 2008;Wu et al, 2009;Roberts et al, 2010;Kim and Kang, 2011;Jin, 2014;Pleskacz, 2015;Yıldırım and Başar, 2019). Most of the work in this research has focused on accident categories such as collision, stranding, sinking, fireexplosion, industrial accident, and man overboard (Wang et al, 2005;Bayar, 2010;Sur and Kim, 2020;Uğurlu et al, 2020).…”
