Localities to build over 2,200 fishing vessels for fishermen

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has said that it has adopted the draft policy on the building of 2,079 fishing vessels and over 200 service vessels, all of high capacity, in support of the offshore fishing industry.

Accordingly, MARD will assign a specific number of vessel constructions to each locality. The Central province of Binh Dinh will be allowed to build the largest number of vessels (288) with a capacity of over 400 CV.

The activity aims to obey the decree on the development of the fishing industry in the central region by providing more modern vessels and equipment to the fishermen.
