Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has assigned the Ministry of Public Security and authorised agencies to investigate the building of low quality fishing vessels in the south central province of Binh Dinh and some other localities as reported by the media recently.

The new vessels were built under the Government’s Decree 67/2014/ND-CP dated July 7, 2014 that offers a number of preferential capital policies for fishing boat building activities to facilitate fisheries. Some steel ships have reportedly been built at low quality, causing losses for the ship owners.

The PM requested for a detail report on the investigation results within August.

He also asked the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to work closely with the Ministry of Public Security during the investigation.-VNA
