Quang Tri (VNA) – The central province of QuangTri have proposed to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) anumber of measures to manage fishing vessels as part of the efforts to preventand combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

The locality suggested the MARD issue guidance onreporting and supervising seafood catches of fishing vessels with a length ofbetween 6-12m to suit the operations of fishermen, according to the provincial SteeringCommittee for IUU Fishing Prevention and Control.

The ministry should promulgate internal procedureson inspection, examination, control and settlement of fishing vessels showingsigns of violating the law through vessel monitoring system (VMS), along withprocedures for monitoring VMS installation, replacement, warranty, and repair,as well as the transfer of VMS due to the transfer of fishing vessel ownershipfrom one locality to another, the province said.

To date, Quang Tri has recorded 318 unregisteredfishing boards, including 312 boats with a length of between 6-12m, and theremainders having a length of between 12-15m. The locality explained that thesefishing boat were built by fishermen themselves without any certificates oforigin, making it impossible for them to process registration.

Therefore, the province asked the MARD to adjustand amend regulations on the registration process for 6-12m-long fishing boats,thus enabling the communal administrations to issue certificates of origin,enabling the registration of these vessels.

So far, Quang Tri has reported no violations offoreign waters by its fishing boats. It has issued operational licences to 90%of local boats, while installing VMS on 96% of the local fishing boat fleet. Atthe same time, the locality has controlled and inspected the movement allfishing vessels at local ports./.
