Ba Ria – Vung Tau (VNA) – The southern province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau has undertaken various initiatives to monitor the “3 Nos” that constitute violations for fishing vessels (no registration, no examination, no licence), local authorities have said.

The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said Ba Ria – Vung Tau counts 1,140 such vessels above 6 metres long, along with more than 1,000 other vessels with one or more of the three violations below 6 metres, mainly in Long Dien, Dat Do and Xuyen Moc districts, all of them given temporary numeric codes for tracking.

The provincial People’s Committee has instructed the department to coordinate with other relevant agencies in carrying out registration procedures for eligible boats in line with regulations set by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Apart from establishing working groups tasked with managing the fleet of vessels, the committee has asked local authorities to set up special anchorages for them.

Pham Thi Na, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said her agency has teamed up with other task forces in conducting regular inspections and supervisions over the “3 Nos” boats in localities and ports.

Over the past time, local border guards have detected and handled 18 vessels that have violated fishing regulations, and imposed total fines of approximately 90 million VND (3,535 USD)./.
