Project for Construction of Fishing Port Facilities at Vung Tau

OUTLINE OF THE PROJECT

In Viet Nam, which has abundant fishery resources, overfishing in coastal waters raised concerns about resource depletion, while offshore resources in the south, enriched by nutrients from the Mekong River, remained largely undeveloped. A shortage of infrastructure, particularly fishing ports, was a major obstacle to balancing the protection of coastal resources with the development of offshore resources. This project constructed fishing port facilities in Vung Tau in the south, including a landing jetty for large fishing boats, floating piers for small boats, ice-making facilities, a fish handling hall, and cold storage facilities, aiming to make use of offshore fishery resources in the southeast.
