Ms. Tran Kim Yen, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee in Ho Chi Minh City said city leaders and dwellers are always oriented towards Truong Sa Islands.

Although nearly 100 percent of fishing boats in Vietnam have been fitted with vessel monitoring system (VMS), there are still loss of communication between fishermen at sea and the mainland, and management agencies are still losing track of vessels.

Due to a shortage of fishermen, ship owners had to find workers many months ago and had to provide cash advances to keep them.

The Border Guards Office of Tho Chau Commune (in Phu Quoc City of Kien Giang Province) yesterday announced that they detected 2 fishing boats transporting about 62,000 liters of DO oil illegally without any valid proof of purchase near Tho Chu Island.

According to a report of the High Command of the Coast Guard Region 4, stationed on Phu Quoc Island, through patrolling and controlling the Southwest waters bordering neighboring countries, on average, this unit detects approximately 20 fishing vessels breaking illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing regulations (IUU).

The cost of each sea voyage is now less expensive when the price of oil is not as high as before, along with favorable weather, so the fishermen in the Central provinces of Vietnam have rushed to head for the open sea in early summer.
