Fishermen launch fishing season in Truong Sa’s traditional fishing area
(VOVworld) - Hundred of fishing boats in several
south central provinces have begun their offshore fishing season in Truong Sa (Spratly)
archipelagos.
Fishermen had prepared sufficient logistic supplies worth 4,500 USD for each boat for their month-long fishing trip. Head of Hon Ro
Port in Nha Trang City, Nguyen Trung Hieu, talks about his port’s catering
services for fishing boats: “We
serve incoming fishing boats all day long by helping them unload as quickly as
possible. We also have ice and oil reserves to supply to vessels any time they
want for their new year’s fishing season.”
Fishermen in Tuy Hoa city are launching their
fishing season to take benefit of good weather. Head of the local fishing
association, Phan Thuan, said many boats have been equipped with sensor systems
to trace fish shoals as well as weather monitoring systems to stay firm at sea.
