11:02, 2014/07/22
The company’s director Yukio Kikuchi said the project will benefit fishermen in Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen and Binh Dinh provinces.
Japan’s Yanmar Company is implementing a pilot project to supply 180 composite vessels to Vietnamese fishermen to help them increase tuna yield and quality.
By using composite boats, Vietnamese fishermen can raise their yield, reduce fuel spending and improve their overall stock quality by utilising better preservation technologies, Director Kikuchi said.
According to the executive, 10 teams of 36 labourers using 60 boats will be set up in each of the three provinces. Each fishing trip will last 15 days and the 60 boats should haul in roughly 150 tonnes of tuna per trip.
The fresh tuna will be shipped to Japanese seafood auction markets at an average price of US$10 per kilogram, five times higher than the current price of Vietnamese frozen tuna.
Yanmar hopes that as from 2015, around 4,500 tonnes of ocean tuna will be exported to Japan annually.
The company is coordinating with the University of Nha Trang Ship Institute (UNINSHIP) to design and manufacture the first composite boats, each costing VND8 billion. The first vessel of its kind will be launched in Khanh Hoa early next month.
