According to the City Border Guard Command, the total number of locally registered and inspected vessels is 1,159 vessels/8,316 workers.
Ships are anchored at ports: 1,097 vehicles/7,699 workers. Vehicles operating at sea have grasped the developments and movement direction of the tropical depression and storm No. 4.
When there was an announcement about the complicated developments of the tropical depression (storm No. 4), most of the offshore fishing boats returned to Tho Quang fishing port for shelter. Many fishermen urgently ensured the safety of their property.
Hundreds of boats were pulled up by Da Nang fishermen to gather and tie up. Some other fishermen packed up their fishing gear and went ashore.
All work was carried out quickly before the tropical depression had the potential to strengthen into a storm and head towards the mainland of the Central provinces.
Some fishermen like Mr. Le Quoc Dung (residing in group 33, Man Thai ward, Son Tra district) even hired a crane to bring their basket boats home to store, ensuring safety during the coming storms.
“My basket boat is quite small so it cannot withstand storms. I have hired a crane to bring the basket boat home until the end of this winter,” said Mr. Dung.
Yesterday afternoon (September 18), Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep chaired an online meeting with localities on responding to a tropical depression that is likely to strengthen into a storm.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep requested that from the lesson of storm No. 3, localities must absolutely not be subjective. Provinces and cities call on all ships to come ashore, shelters to anchor safely, especially paying attention to small and medium-sized transport ships. Focus on reviewing the flood situation and have plans to evacuate people.
