The Da Nang People's Committee has officially inaugurated the upgraded and expanded Tho Quang Fishing Port (Phase 2), meeting the criteria for a Type 1 fishing port – a key driving port for the largest fisheries center in Central Vietnam.
The project, with a total investment of VND250 billion ($9.5 million), also combines a regional-level storm shelter area, ensuring safe mooring and synchronized fisheries logistics services.
The project's investment scope includes upgrading and renovating piers 1 and 3, connecting them with pier 2 (completed in Phase 1); renovating the seafood trading area, drainage and water supply systems, waste treatment, waterproofing, and market floor; repairing the breakwater embankment, internal roads; and completing auxiliary infrastructure, greenery, lighting, fences, public restrooms, and fire fighting systems.
Speaking at the inauguration on November 13, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee Tran Nam Hung said that the Tho Quang Fishing Port upgrade and expansion project is a national key project in the fisheries sector, receiving attention and investment support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.
Tho Quang Fishing Port is currently the largest fisheries center in Central Vietnam, serving as a safe haven for hundreds of thousands of fishing vessels seeking mooring and storm shelter each year, contributing to ensuring the safety of lives and property for fishermen.
It is also a crucial hub for tracing the origin of exploited aquatic products, meeting the requirements for combating IUU (Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated) fishing, which Vietnam is striving to overcome to have the "yellow card" lifted by the European Commission.
