On January 16, the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province said it had directed to strengthen the management of fishing vessels, ensuring safety for people and fishing vessels operating in the province.
Up to now, in Khanh Hoa province, 100% of fishing vessels in the province have been registered, marked in accordance with regulations and updated data on the National Fishing Vessel Data System; the whole province has 643/646 fishing vessels with a length of 15m or more operating in offshore areas that have installed fishing vessel journey monitoring equipment, 634/646 vessels have been granted food safety certificates for fishing vessels...
Control of fishing vessels entering and leaving ports and confirmation of exploited seafood are also carried out strictly and transparently; violations in the field of fisheries exploitation have been strictly handled.
However, state agencies from the central to local levels have paid attention to implementing many solutions to manage fishing vessels, ensuring safety for people and fishing vessels operating in fisheries, thereby contributing to significantly reducing the number of fishing vessel accidents compared to before.
However, the work of ensuring safety for people and fishing vessels operating in fisheries is currently facing a number of difficulties and challenges such as increasingly unpredictable extreme weather at sea; the situation in the East Sea continues to develop complicatedly; the work of managing registration, inspection, and control of fishing vessel activities is still inadequate...
Therefore, Khanh Hoa province in general and some other localities in particular must inspect fishing vessels operating at sea, ensure that fishing vessels are registered and fully equipped with safety equipment; strictly manage the registration of crew members and workers on fishing vessels and the purchase of insurance for crew members and workers.
In particular, Khanh Hoa province is currently propagating and instructing fishermen on how to prevent accidents and risks at sea; and guiding the organization of seafood exploitation in groups and teams.
In addition, direct the organization to be on duty 24/7 to operate the Fishing Vessel Monitoring System, promptly provide information, warn of weather conditions, guide fishermen to avoid storms, and promptly support fishermen when necessary.
