The project, scheduled for 2026-2028, will be managed by the provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment.
Plans include upgrading the fishing port and storm shelter, with the wharf extended to about 410 metres, comprising 200 metres of renovated existing facilities and a new 210-metre section.
The entrance channel, turning basin and anchorage will be dredged and improved, expanding the anchorage area to nearly seven hectares.
A 330-metre breakwater will also be built to protect the northern logistics area, along with mooring buoys, navigation markers and other facilities. About 2.54 hectares will be developed for internal roads, landscaping and port infrastructure.
Other facilities will include a seafood sorting area, administrative and staff buildings, as well as electricity, water, lighting, fire prevention, drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Fishing logistics, vessel repair, rescue and fuel supply facilities will also be upgraded.
Provincial authorities said the project would improve berthing capacity and safety for fishing vessels, while supporting fisheries logistics, seafood traceability and search-and-rescue operations.
The existing anchorage covers about three hectares and can accommodate around 100 vessels, while demand for storm shelter, transport and fisheries services has been rising, according to local authorities.
Con Co Island lies about 30 kilometres off the mainland. Its location near fishing grounds, together with its marine ecosystems and natural landscape, gives it potential for fisheries logistics, marine economic activities and tourism.
