Fishing boats in Quy Nhon
Around 602 fishing boats in Quy Nhon City will be relocated.
Binh Dinh will upgrade and expand De Gi Fishing Port to four hectares, including constructing a 300-metre-long pier and fish sorting facilities. The province will call for investment in fisheries-related services at the port.
The province will build a resettlement area for affected fishermen at Vinh Loi.
According to Binh Dinh People's Committee Vice Chairman Nguyen Tuan Thanh, the province has recently witnessed strong tourism development, particularly in Quy Nhon City. Therefore, moving fishing boats out of Quy Nhon was necessary to provide space for tourism development.
