However, maritime casualty which caused casualties or loss of properties occurred occasionally. Therefore, in order to it is necessary to conduct an analysis of the reason of maritime casualty be conducted to reduce the damages that fishers might suffer. The data of the cases happened in 2007 to 2009 were collected from the local fishermen associations. And, relative books and data concerning maritime casualty and navigation safety were also compiled. In this study, the study methods of "literature review" and "current information collection and analysis" were adopted. The study starts from the clarification of the maritime casualty, then introduce its definition and categorization in Taiwan and countries around the world. This report intended to determine the definition of maritime casualty and its categories from cases of Taiwanese fishing boats through the definition and categories regulated in the international conventions. Moreover, this study also tried to come out with a solution to the cause of maritime casualty , based on the statistic data of causes of maritime casualty. The result of the study indicates that "malfunction of the machine" prevailed in the causes of maritime casualty according to the Fisheries Agency and the Coast Guard Administration. In detail, the four main types in that cause were " clutch breakdown of main engine", " propeller twisting net", " cylinder breakdown of main engine", and " propeller broken". To prevent the accident of maritime casualty from happening, repair system must be developed with the understanding of our main powered fishing boats. In addition, promoting the fishermen's repair abilities as well as the function of the fishing boats were also the solution to reduce the maritime casualty accidents.
