Capsizing and sinking of small fishing vessels often result in severe casualties owing to limited rescue time. Anti-sinking devices that maintain vessel buoyancy and delay sinking have been proposed to address this issue. However, current regulations lack the provisions to accommodate such emerging technologies. This paper presents an analysis of the legal and institutional challenges in the application of anti-sinking devices in Korea. Key issues include the lack of equipment classification, approval procedures, and safety standards. On this basis, regulatory improvements, including legal definitions, type approval systems, and the use of regulatory sandboxes, are proposed. These findings support the safe deployment of innovative safety devices and enhance maritime accident response.
