Storm-sheltering anchorage zones for fishing ships shall be built into a system on the basis of making the fullest use of locations endowed with favorable natural conditions and silllat~d c1m;~ to fishing i':rollnds or sea areas with high storm frequency and taking into account fishermen's practices to ensure safety for fishermen and fishing ships and minimize the damage caused by storms, 3. Importance sha ll be attached to building storm-sheltering anchorage zones far fishing ships at islands, particularly outpost islands and islands occupying an important position in offshore fishing logistic services. in close combination with the implementation of the master plan on the system of fishing ports and wharves through 2020, with orientations toward 2030, and the master plan on development of Vietnam's island economy through 2020, the master plan on defense and security infrastructure facilities on seas and islands to serve socio-economic development of coastal localities. contributing to the implementation of Vietnam's sea strategy toward 2020 and the maintenance of defense and security in sea and island areas, 11, 'l'H~ UHJJ::<.lTIYES UFTHE MASTER PLAN J.

The master plan's period: through 2020 and with orientations toward 2030. IV. CLASSIFICATION AND CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA Based on the natural characteristics and fishermen's practices, storm-sheltering anchorage zones for fishing ships shall be classified according to the following criteria: I. Regional-level storm-sheltering anchorage zones, which must fully satisfy the following conditions: aJ Being located ncar key fishing grounds where operate fishing ships of many provinces. bl Being located in a sea area with high storm frequency; cl Heilig endowed With favorable natural conditions, ensuring safety for fishing ships taking shelter; dI Being capable of accommodating 800 ­ 1,000 fishing ships of various types (including those of up to 1,000 CV and foreign fishing ships). 2. Provincial-level storm-sheltering anchorage zones, which must fully satisfy the following conditions: aI Being located near local traditional fishing grounds, ensuring the shortest time for fishing ships to move into for shelter; bl Being endowed with favorable natural conditions, ensuring safety for fishing ships taking shelter; cl Being capable of accommodating fishing ships of the local ity and other localities to take shelter. V PI .ANNTNG ON THF: SYSTEM OF .~ .. STORM-SHELTERING ANCHMAGE .--t ZONES FOR FISHING SHIPS TJ;lJU)UGH 2U2U (with enclosed appendix, ftOrinted herein) I. Criteria-based plarming By 2020, there wi II be 13 I storrrreheltering .0 anchorage zones for fishing ships, ..~hich are capable ofaccommodating 84,200 fi~g ships, including: aI 115 storm-sheltering anchotQe zones along the coast, being ca~ilJle of accommodating 75,650 fishing shipt.i1Jcluding 12 regional-level and 103 provincial~el ones; b/ 16 storm-sheltering anchorage zones at islands, being capable of accomrnodatmg 8,550 fishing ships. including 5 regional-I~I and 11 provincial-level ones. 2. Sea area-based planning aI The Tonkin Gulf sea area: 35:anchorage zones, including 32 coastal ones and ut islands (Co To- Thanh Lan, Cat Ba and Baes-Long Vy islands)', b/ The central sea area: 57 anchorage zones, including 52 coastal ones and 5 at islands (Con Co, Cu Lao Cham, Lv Son, Da Tay and Phu Quy): cl The eastern South Vietnam sea area: 23 anchorage zones, including 21 coastal ones and 2 at islands (Can Dao and Han Khoai): © VIETNAM LAW & LEGAL FORUM 84 OFFICIAL GAZET"'E ISSlie nos 03.0S/August 2011 (CongBrw nos 461-462/August 21,2011) d! The western South Vietnam sea area: 16 anchorage zones, including 9 coastal ones and 7 at islands (Narn Du and Han Tre islands and 5 zones at Phu Quoc island: An Thai, MUl Ganh Dau,Vung Trau Nam, Duong Dong estuary and Cau Sau). VI. ORIENTATlONS TOWARD 2030 The ~jected accommodating capacity of all storm-sheltering anchorage zones will be the same aSJDPt of 2020. To fO'lm a system of storm-sheltering anchoTa~oneswith synchronous and modem infrastrucane facilities, including anchorage­ supportift~ structures, landing facilities and logistic-service facilities associated with anchorage zones; information and communication systems in these zones will be automated and computerized up to the modern level of ~~ional advanced countries. Most storm-sheltering anchorage zone facilities in combination with fishing ports will be synchronous fishery logistlc service ccmers. Stonn-~ltering anchorage zones associated with g'T<tl:fe-I fishing ports will be fishery industri3f centers. VII.
