For heavily damaged boats, there will be additional carpenters to repair them; and mechanics will maintain the boat's engine. Photo: Quang An

Steel-hulled fishing boats, after months of fishing at sea, are exposed to salt water, causing the hulls to rust, forcing them to be pried apart for refurbishment and repair, which takes a lot of time. Photo: Quang An

To increase the water resistance of the hull, workers use plastic mesh to cover the surface, then apply a layer of strong adhesive before spraying paint. Photo: Xuan Hoang

According to fishing boat painting specialists, waterproofing fishing boats is especially important and there are currently many waterproofing methods applied such as using waterproof paints, powders, materials, glues... But the most effective and cost-saving is still using composite materials. Photo: Xuan Hoang
