To construct five first-class fishing ports in the 2021-2030

Under the draft, the five ports will be built in Hai Phong, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Kien Giang. Priority will be given to developing infrastructure and logistics services at fishing ports and storm shelters.

By 2030, there will also be 160 storm shelters, comprising 30 regional and 130 provincial ones, capable of accommodating some 90,600 fishing vessels. Vietnam will have 176 fishing ports, capable of handling 2.96 million tonnes of fish annually, and 160 typhoon shelters for boats, which can accommodate 90,600 boats in total. These ports and shelters will cover about 1,038ha of land area and 5,079ha of water surface in total.

Some 60.37 trillion VND (approximately 2.6 billion USD) will be needed for infrastructure development at the fishing ports and storm shelters, most of which will be financed by the State budget.
