Can Tho city is intensifying efforts to resolve vessel monitoring system (VMS) disconnections as part of its drive to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, aiming to ensure all fishing vessels maintain stable tracking signals while operating at sea. The VMS plays a crucial role in enabling authorities to issue timely alerts when vessels risk entering restricted or foreign waters. All 343 fishing vessels of 15 metres or more in the city have been fitted with VMS devices, but some have recently experienced technical glitches that caused temporary signal loss during offshore operations.
