After installing satellite system for fishing boats, fishers will easily get weather information, especially information of storms, to actively prevent and control the fishing areas. Thanks to this satellite equipment system, fishers will take the initiative to receive information about storm, tropical low pressure, northeast monsoon from the mainland, as well as authorities in the mainland can gain initiative and continue monitoring the precise coordinates of each boat at sea for sequential 24-hr period, support information of speed and direction of boats.
The fishing boats, which have capacity of 90CV or more and operate in teams, will be equipped with a satellite system. Installation of satellite system will be given priority to the boats operating in teams or the boats playing the role of boat team leaders, rescue boat and marine service ships.
