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. By 2030 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. Out of the 125 fishing ports across Vietnam, 68 are currently operational, including three first-class, 54 second-class and 11 third-class ones. The development of fishing ports and storm shelters is considered a breakthrough task towards turning fisheries into an important sector of the national economy./.
