This is one of a few high-tech fishing vessels at Hon Ro Wharf in Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province. It cost over 20 billion VND and was put into operation in 2017. The vessel is fully equipped with LED lighting as well as high-tech digital equipment to ensure the safety of the fishermen onboard. Khanh Hoa province has more than 700 offshore fishing vessels, 550 of which visit the Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagos and DK1 rigs regularly to catch tuna. Local fishing vessels have been upgraded in recent years and are now equipped with high-tech equipment to improve efficiency and save money on each trip. With fishing vessels upgraded, the province has also focused on improving processing facilities as catches rise. It currently has two wharves for high-capacity tuna fishing, 11 facilities building ships, and 20 facilities providing the necessary equipment. A huge number of vessels catching 97,000 tonnes of seafood each year has enabled Khanh Hoa’s fisheries industry to boom in recent times. This is a major opportunity for the province to develop links, from fishing to processing and selling finished products./.
