Hanoi (VNA) – The Prime Minister has approved a plan to put into service an uninterrupted, inter-regional, modern system of fishing ports and storm shelters by 2030.

The PM on July 3 issued Decision No. 582/QD-TTg approving the plan on the national system of fishing ports and storm shelters for fishing vessels for 2021 – 2030, with a vision to 2050.

The plan’s objectives are to consolidate and modernise the fisheries sector’s infrastructure, meet logistics needs, ensure food safety and hygiene, reduce post-harvest losses, ensure safety for vessels and fishermen, raise the efficiency of fisheries management, step up international integration, adapt to climate change, protect the environment and the marine ecosystem, and contribute to ensuring national defence and security.

Specifically, by 2030, the country will have 173 fishing ports, including 39 of level 1, which are capable of handling about 2.98 million tonnes in total each year, and 160 storm shelters capable of accommodating about 90,600 fishing vessels.

In addition, there will be major trade hubs serving as driving forces for fisheries industrial parks, coastal economic zones, and large fisheries centres associated with key fishing grounds, thus creating investment attraction and growth momentum for the fisheries sector.

Notably, digital management methods will be used at all level-1 fishing ports, as classified in the Government’s Decree No. 76/2021/ND-CP dated July 28, 2021, according to the plan.

By 2050, Vietnam expects to house a harmonious, comprehensive and modern network of fishing ports on part with others in the region and the world, meeting green standards.

Level-1 fishing ports at big fisheries centres that serve as international gateways will become crucial links in the global aquatic product value chain, with high competitiveness.

The plan also aims for the upgrade of fishing ports and storm shelters on islands, especially Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel).

Between 2021 and 2030, five large, harmonious fisheries centres will be formed in connection with the system of fishing ports and storm shelters in the northern city of Hai Phong, the central city of Da Nang, the south central province of Khanh Hoa, the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang./.
