The central province of Quang Ngai will provide nearly 31.5 billion VND (1.5 million USD) for fishermen to conduct offshore activities in the first phase of 2014.
Accordingly, 325 fishing vessels in Quang Ngai city, Binh Son, Mo Duc and Duc Pho districts will receive over 30.7 billion VND to cover fuel costs while 97 million VND will be used for insurance for 32 ships and their crew members.
About 616 million VND will be invested in installing contact systems for another 22 vessels.
The funding aims to encourage Quang Ngai fishermen to catch seafood in remote waters, such as those around Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes, contributing to protecting national sea and island sovereignty.
In addition, the provincial People’s Committee has also urged relevant agencies to take necessary measures to ensure the safety for offshore fishing vessels and fishermen.-VNA
