The sharp increase in fishing users and fishing boats in recent years is acting as a factor in increasing safety accidents at the same time. Accordingly, in order to reduce safety accidents on fishing boats, the government continues to improve the safety management of fishing boats, such as adding to the various fishing rules. However, even though the current fishing boat is a multi-use ships, there is a limit in implementing the active safety management for fishing boats because applied the｢ Fishing Vessels Act｣. The results of the study are as follows. The institutional point of view, it is necessary to change the entry into the fishing boat business from the current reporting system to the license system to prepare safety standards at the level of passenger ships or excursion ships. It is necessary to implement the method of calculating the fixed number of persons on board for general fishing boats applied to current fishing boats in accordance with multi-use ships such as guided and excursion ships. In addition, to prevent excessive competition and to systematically manage fishing boats, it is proposed to establish and operate a limited number of fishing boats permitted in each region. In terms of safe operation of fishing boats, it is necessary to implement a fishing boat rest system to ensure the captain's rest time, and to make it mandatory to provide minimum basic safety education for fishing users.
