SUMMARY

TO BUILD 131 STORM-SHELTERING ANCHORAGE ZONES FOR FISHING SHIPS THROUGH 2020

On August 09, 2011, the Prime Minister issued the Decision No. 1349/QD-TTg approving the adjusted master plan on storm-sheltering anchorage zones for fishing ships through 2020, with orientations toward 2030.

Accordingly, Storm-sheltering anchorage zones for fishing ships shall be built into a system on the basis of making the fullest use of locations endowed with favorable natural conditions and situated close to fishing grounds or sea areas with high storm frequency and taking into account fishermen's practices to ensure safety for fishermen and fishing ships and minimize the damage caused by storms.

Importance shall be attached to building storm-sheltering anchorage zones for fishing ships at islands, particularly outpost islands and islands occupying an important position in offshore fishing logistic services, in close combination with the implementation of the master plan on the system of fishing ports and wharves through 2020, with orientations toward 2030, and the master plan on development of Vietnam's island economy through 2020, the master plan on defense and security infrastructure facilities on seas and islands to serve socio-economic development of coastal localities.

Regional-level storm-sheltering anchorage zones, which must fully satisfy 04 conditions: being located near key fishing grounds where operate fishing ships of many provinces; being located in a sea area with high storm frequency; being endowed with favorable natural conditions, ensuring safety for fishing ships taking shelter; Being capable of accommodating 800 -1.000 fishing ships of various types.

By 2020, there will be 131 storm-sheltering anchorage zones for fishing ships, which are capable of accommodating 84,200 fishing ships, 115 storm-sheltering anchorage zones along the coast, being capable of accommodating 75.650 fishing ships, including 12 regional-level and 103 provincial-level ones; 16 storm-sheltering anchorage zones at islands, being capable of accommodating 8,550 fishing ships, including 5 regional-level and 11 provincial-level ones.

The total investment capital for projects on storm-sheltering anchorage zones for fishing ships through 2020 is VND 11.230 billion. The 2010-2015 period: VND 6,393 billion and investment will be concentrated on the completion of 17 regional-level storm-sheltering anchorage zones as a priority and a number of provincial-level storm-sheltering anchorage zones currently under construction. The 2016- 2020 period: VND 4.S37 billion, and investment will be made in the remaining storm-sheltering anchorage zones under the master plan.

This Decision takes effect on the date of its signing and replaces Decision No. 288/2005/QD-TTg of November 8, 2005.
