The An Hai Fishing Trade Union in Ly Son district in the central coastal province of Quang Ngai on October 28 was presented a ship worth 5.05 billion VND (237,350 USD) from the Golden Heart Fund of the Nguoi Lao Dong (Labourers) newspaper.
The ship was built with donations the fund received under a national campaign supporting fishermen launched by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL).
Designed and built by the Co Luy Shipbuilding Co-operative in Tu Nghia district, the ship is 20 metres long, 5.50 metres wide and 3.75 metres high. It is installed with a 650HP engine imported from Japan.
Over the past year, the fund implemented many assistance programmes to fishermen in coastal localities nationwide.
It presented 7,500 life-preservers, 3,000 first-aid kits for fishing boats and financial aid worth over 2 billion VND (94,000 USD) to ship-owners who were robbed while operating in offshore waters.
