Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam plans to construct five first-class fishing ports for fishery hubs across the country in the 2021-2030 period, according to a plan drafted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Under the draft, which is being circulated among ministries, sectors and localities for feedback, the five ports will be built in Hai Phong in the north, Da Nang and Khanh Hoa in the centre, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Kien Giang in the south.

The remainders are under construction or not eligible to open. There are also 74 active typhoon shelters, with a total capacity of 50,885 vessels, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
