Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang has just approved the planning for the system of fishing ports and storm shelters for fishing vessels in the 2021 - 2030 period, with a vision to 2050.

According to the planning, between 2021 and 2030, five large, harmonious fisheries centres will be formed in connection with the system of fishing ports and storm shelters in the northern city of Hai Phong, the central city of Da Nang, the south central province of Khanh Hoa, the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang.

In the 2021 - 2030 period, priority is given to building essential infrastructure and logistics services, including first-class fishing ports, especially ones in large fishing centres; storm shelters for regional fishing vessels; fishing ports and storm shelters for fishing vessels on the islands; second-class fishing ports combined with storm shelters for fishing vessels under construction; and fishing port and storm shelter projects for fishing vessels that are attracting off-budget investment capital.
