Resumen
During the last years, we have studied the Spain’s maritime accidents that occurred in fishing andthe causes that produced them from 2000 (year of starting of the CIAIM reports) to June 2016. Itwas decided to study this problem because there is observed a large number of accidents comparedto other sectors such as building construction or metallurgy. We have been studying all of maritimeaccidents occurred from 2000 to 2016 including merchant vessels, fishing vessels and others. The studyshows that the fishing vessels obtained the most important number of accidents and number of persons’casualties. Having said that, we have considered it appropriate to observe the evolution of maritimeaccidents, especially in fishing vessels, that have occurred since June 2016 to the present separately,and its causes.In some cases, it can only be counted as a number and the causes that produced them cannot be takeninto account since some recent investigations are still ongoing. This paper aims to analyze whetherdespite the measures that have been implemented during these years in the field of training professionalsin the fisheries sector, the relatively high number of accidents persists. The results obtained are of vitalimportance in the evaluation of the measures applied to the problem of the large number of accidents infishing and also in the preparation of future measures that must be proposed in the direction of reducingthe effects on people, resulting from the accidents occurred in fishing
