Lach Van fishing port in Dien Ngoc commune (Dien Chau) was built in 2008 and was renovated, upgraded and expanded in 2014 to accommodate over 120 boats entering the port per day. The port has a seafood warehouse of over 300 square meters, creating favorable conditions for fishermen and small traders to trade and consume seafood.
