The project to build a storm shelter for fishing boats in Lach Quen area, Tien Thuy commune - additional embankment item No. 6 was approved by the Provincial People's Committee with a total investment of 55.8 billion VND.

The project is implemented with items including construction of a 1.2 km long embankment from Hau bridge to embankment No. 3 at Tien Thuy fishing port; construction of a 6 meter wide road and works on the route with 56 boat mooring posts; dredging the boat mooring area to an elevation of -2.4 m.

The contract duration is 18 months (from April 2016 to December 2017) and the Provincial People's Committee has allowed an extension until December 2018. Currently, the project has built 500 meters of embankment; constructed 200 m/1.2 km of frame beams on the river side.

After the project is completed, it will accommodate dozens of boats and ships to take shelter from storms and trade seafood. Photo: Viet Hung

The investment in the project will help ensure a place to anchor and avoid storms for dozens of vessels, and at the same time, a berth for fishermen to transport seafood as well as provide services at sea. Thereby, it will reduce the volume of boats anchored at Lach Quen main port, ensuring the safety of people and vehicles during the rainy and stormy season./.
