The reason why 100% of vessels are not inspected is because some vessels are lying on shore, waiting to be sold without completing registration and inspection procedures; some ship owners request documents approving conversion but do not complete documents and procedures, leading to the inspection rate being lower than planned.
Currently, Nghe An has 17,651 workers working in seafood exploitation, of which 14,652 are offshore workers.
