The Da Nang authorities have decided to give 2.84 billion VND from the city’s budget to local fishermen in Lien Chieu, Thanh Khe, and Son Tra districts for the building of 4 more over-400hp offshore fishing.

In 2012, the local authorities gave 3.25 billion VND to build 5 ships of between 450 and 1,160hp.

The financial assistance from the local authorities not only helps to  promote the development of the local fishing industry, but also contributes to protecting Viet Nam’s sovereignty over its islands and sea.
