A fisherman from Danang has spent VND11 billion (USD523,800) to build a steel-clad fishing boat, the first of its kind in the city.
The boat, named Sang Fish 01, was launched in June. It is 25.5 metres long, 7.8 metres wide and 3.6 metres high. It has six main holds and can accommodate 18 crew members.
Sang said that he and his wife decided to build the boat for off-shore fishing expeditions near the Hoang Sa Islands, contributing to the protection of national sovereignty. They are planning for their first expedition in the Hoang Sa area next week.
