The State budget will cover all annual premiums for all crew members working on board, and half of the premiums for the boats’ body, excluding fishing tools and catches.
The Decree will take effect from March 25, 2018.
Decree 67/2014/ND-CP, which took effect from August 25 last year, provides policies to encourage fishermen to build high-capacity steel ships capable of fishing offshore, a practice that could earn fishermen higher incomes and contribute to protecting the country’s territorial waters.
