Dong Tac Port is one of four ports designated for fishermen to conduct procedures related to departures, docking, loading, and unloading seafood. The border guard of Phu Yen province usually sends staff to meet local captains, encouraging them to commit to not encroach upon foreign waters. Thanks to the efforts and awareness of the fishermen, Phu Yen has recorded no violations since 2019. Phu Yen has 653 fishing boats with a length of 15 metres or more operating in open seas, 641 of which have been equipped with vessel monitoring systems, or 98%. An inspection team from the European Commission (EC) will conduct an on-site inspection in Vietnam from May 24-31. Phu Yen is among the localities that are highly likely to be inspected due to its high volume of ocean tuna and swordfish exports to the European market./.
