Sand sediments strand ships in central provinceVietNamNet Bridge – The serious encroachment of sand sediment along Lach Bang Sea Port in Tinh Gia District of central Thanh Hoa Provine has been blocking many cargo ships and fishing vessels as they try to approach the port. In 2016, the total amount of goods transported to the Lach Bang Sea Port was 246,000 tonnes. On the Lach Bang wharf, small boats formed a long line – they had no goods to transport to hore. Nguyen Van Dong, owner of two fishing ships in Hai Binh Commune, said his ships have been unable to sail since the end of the Tet holidays (Viet Nam’s Lunar New Year festival). Sand sediments along the sea port could easily strand the ships,” he told Natural Resources (Tai Nguyen Moi Truong) Newspaper.
