13:59', 6/5/ 2011 (GMT+7)

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on May 5 held a meeting in Quy Nhon to announce the Movimar project.

Accordingly, about 3,000 fishing boats from 28 coastal areas will be selected for free installation of satellite equipment.

The equipment will help the boats to receive early warning about storms and bad weather.

Priority will be given to boats with a capacity of at least 90 CV, and also those which play a role in rescue operations at sea.

The project is aimed at monitoring Vietnam’s marine resources. It has a total capital of EUR13.9 million and is funded by the French government.

The project is expected to be implemented within three years (2011-2013).
