"First visit" to large-capacity shipbuilding facility in Hoang Mai town

(Baonghean.vn) - Since the 6th day of the Lunar New Year, workers at the Hop Tien shipbuilding facility in Quynh Lap (Hoang Mai Town) have been working hard with axes and hammers to build new large ships for fishermen to go out to sea.

Mr. Nguyen Van Nho, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Lap Commune, said: The commune has two large-sized shipbuilding facilities owned by Mr. Tran Dinh Anh and Mr. Tran Dinh Tho, which build over 10 large-sized boats from 450 to 1,000 CV each year. These two facilities create jobs for over 60 workers with a stable salary of 7 to 8 million VND/person/month. In addition to building new ones, these two facilities also repair and maintain hundreds of boats each year.

The new ship of Mr. Ho Si Dai, Quynh Lap commune, was ordered to be built at Mr. Tran Dinh Tho's facility with a capacity of 822 CV, worth 12.3 billion VND, and is currently 80% completed.

Workers are actively completing the ship's hull.

At Mr. Tran Dinh Anh's shipbuilding facility, workers are building the "skeleton" for a ship with a capacity of over 700 horsepower. It is expected that next month this ship will set sail, contributing to effective seafood exploitation and protecting the sovereignty of the homeland's sea and islands.

Mr. Tran Dinh Anh's facility has over 30 workers, currently working 3 shifts a day to keep up with progress.

Seagoing ships are mainly built with sandalwood,...

Quynh Lap commune has 146 large capacity boats from 400 - 1,000 CV regularly going offshore for fishing.
