The Mekong Delta province of Soc Trang is rolling out a new policy to subsidise satellite subscription fees for fishing vessel monitoring devices, part of a resolution passed in December 2024 by the provincial People's Council. Accordingly, the policy, effective from January 2025 for two years, provides financial assistance to vessel owners, each with no more than 300,000 VND (11.84 USD) per month. Soc Trang currently has 774 registered fishing vessels, of them 342 equipped with monitoring devices. While 560 vessels meet licensing requirements, 214 remain uncertified due to issues like technical non-compliance or prolonged inactivity. VNA Photo: Tuấn Phi
