The port planning must be closely associated with fleetmanagement, he said, adding that this is an important task to ensure the traceabilityof exploited aquatic products.

It is necessary to calculate the specific numbers of vessels of the northern, centraland southern regions, manage of port infrastructure, and mobilise social resources to invest in the system.

As the fisheries sector plays an important role in ensuring fishermen’slivelihoods as well as defence security, the planning work must meet this requirement, the deputy minister stressed.

Supporting services, processing technology and measures toreduce logistic costs should be taken into account as well.

During the planning process, it is also important to turnthe five major fishing grounds of Hai Phong, Da Nang, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, KhanhHoa and Kien Giang into growth poles, contributing to promoting socio-economicdevelopment, Tien emphasised.
