Marine accidents can result in severe economic losses and casualties, underscoring the critical need for effective risk assessment.. In this study, quantitative marine accident reports from Korea that objectively describe accident variables were collected and classified to analyze marine accidents of fishing ships To analyze the causes of accidents involving different types of fishing ships, a survey with subject matter experts (SMEs) was conducted. A fishing ship accident Bayesian network (FABN) scenario was then developed by integrating fishing ship accident data with SME insights. The FABN was comprehensively modeled based on the scenario, with marine accidents being modeled based on causal variables each marine accident. Changes in the output value of the FABN were verified via a sensitivity analysis, and the independence and statistical significance of the model were confirmed using a statistical analysis of the collected data. FABN allows for the immediate assessment of the probability of marine accidents related to fishing ships by utilizing network structures, and provides the advantage of structurally assessing ship accident risks

This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of three primary datasets commonly employed to evaluate shipping patterns in Arctic waters: 1) Northern Canada Vessel Traffic Zone (NORDREG), 2) satellite-based Automatic Identification System (S-AIS) from a private provider, and 3) the Arctic Ship Traffic Database (ASTD). Covering the years 2011 to 2022, the analysis assesses spatial and temporal metrics for each dataset while employing robust data cleaning techniques to address signal manipulation and detection gaps. Findings reveal that S-AIS and NORDREG excel in detecting vessel traffic in Canadian waters, including the Northwest Passage (NWP), while ASTD demonstrates strong performance in regions with dense terrestrial AIS coverage, such as Norway and Iceland. However, ASTD is less effective along critical shipping routes, including the NWP and the Northern Sea Route (NSR), where S-AIS provides broader coverage. Both datasets indicate an upward trend in AIS-based traffic throughout the Arctic. The results underscore the value of fusing S-AIS and ASTD datasets to provide a more complete and accurate understanding of Arctic shipping patterns. This research offers critical insights for policymakers and researchers selecting ship traffic data for regional and global Arctic analyses, maritime safety, and environmental decision-making.
