The Tho Quang Fishing Wharf and Port in Da Nang’s Son Tra District is being upgraded into a type 1 fishing port with a total investment of VND 250 billion. This place will become one of the five largest fishing hubs in the country.

Da Nang is upgrading and expanding the Tho Quang Fishing Port with a total investment of VND 250 billion.

As per the national fishing port system plan for 2021-2030, with a vision extending to 2050, Tho Quang is set to become one of five key fishing centres in Viet Nam, besides other major hubs in Hai Phong City, Khanh Hoa Province, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, and Kien Giang Province.

Once completed, the project will significantly increase the port's capacity and efficiency, meeting higher fishing port standards, supporting fishing logistic services, and serving as a regional storm shelter.

The upgraded port is anticipated to accommodate up to 300 vessels per day and handle 100,000 tonnes of goods annually.

The Tho Quang Fishing Port and Wharf is both an anchorage area for fishing boats in the Central region and a place to collect and export seafood caught from the sea as well as to bring it to consumption in Da Nang and neighbouring localities.

The project on upgrading and expanding the Tho Quang Fishing Port consists of 2 packages. Package No.10 features the construction of wharf items Nos.1 and 2, the repair of the southeast embankment of the wharf, the renovation of the seafood trading area, and the upgrade of internal traffic routes.

Last July, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang signed a decision approving the planning of the system of fishing ports and storm shelters for fishing vessels for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050. There will be 5 large synchronous fishing centres across the country, including the Tho Quang Fishing Port in Son Tra District.

The upgraded port is anticipated to accommodate up to 300 vessels per day, each with a maximum capacity of 2,000 CV, and handle 100,000 tonnes of goods annually.
