New fishing port

The wharf includes two passages, one for fishing boats to unload cargo and the other for boats to fill oil, which keep the wharf’s order.
“It was very difficult and time-consuming (1 – 2 hours) for boats to take oil before. But now, it takes my boat about 30 minutes”, said Nguyen Hong Son, the owner of KH 00131 TS.
Nguyen Thi Ngoc, a ice supplier for fishing boats and frozen vans said, “The port has become spacious and clean now”.
