In addition to the 6 ship owners/captains above, previously in April 2024, the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district verified and fined 2 ship owners for failing to maintain VMS journey monitoring equipment during operations at sea for fishing vessels with a length of 15 m or more.

Along with the verification and sanction results of the Quynh Thuan Border Guard Station, during the coastal inspection in early June, the provincial interdisciplinary team advised the Chief Inspector of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to sanction 2 ship owners, with a total fine of 3 million VND for 2 fishing boats of Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh and Mr. Nguyen Van Lieu residing in Hai Chau ward and Hai Thanh ward, Nghi Son town (Thanh Hoa) who went to the coastal waters of Nghe An to fish but had a violation of marking fishing boats in violation of regulations for boats with a maximum length of 12 to under 15 m. These are Nghe An's efforts in the "war" to remove the yellow card for aquatic products.
