The PM on July 3 issued Decision No. 582/QD-TTg approving the plan on the national system of fishing ports and storm shelters for fishing vessels for 2021 – 2030, with a vision to 2050.

In addition, there will be major trade hubs serving as driving forces for fisheries industrial parks, coastal economic zones, and large fisheries centres associated with key fishing grounds, thus creating investment attraction and growth momentum for the fisheries sector.
Notably, digital management methods will be used at all level-1 fishing ports, as classified in the Government’s Decree No. 76/2021/ND-CP dated July 28, 2021, according to the plan.
