Quy Nhon fishermen hoist their boats to "run away from the storm"

Faced with the complicated developments of super typhoon No. 13 (Kalmaegi storm), fishermen in Quy Nhon (Gia Lai province) have proactively moved their boats to anchorage areas and sheltered channels in Thi Nai lagoon for safe shelter.

At the entrance to Quy Nhon fishing boat mooring port (Quy Nhon ward), fishermen are mobilizing cranes and vehicles to lift boats to higher ground to limit damage when the storm makes landfall.

The motorized basket boats, which are all the assets and livelihoods of fishermen, were moved to higher ground to avoid damage from high tides and strong winds from the storm.

Fisherman Nguyen Minh Nhat (Quy Nhon Nam ward) said: “Because we heard that storm No. 13 was very strong, most of the people living along the coast proactively responded early. Boats were raised high to avoid collisions and capsizing during strong winds and high tides. The price to rent a crane to move boats is 500,000 VND/boat (2 trips of lifting and lowering).”

"Although the rental fee is quite high, we feel secure because we can get the fishing boat up high. This boat is our family's asset and livelihood," said Mr. Nguyen Minh Nhat.

Carefully tie the boat before it is lifted ashore to avoid the storm.

Start lifting the boat up high

The crane worker carefully checked before lifting the fishing boats up high so as not to damage the fishermen's property.

Anchor the fishing gear as the boat is hoisted safely

On the evening of November 4, dozens of fishermen's basket boats were anchored at the Quy Nhon fishing boat anchorage channel and were lifted to a safe place.

Because the wind of storm number 13 is forecast to be very strong, most fishermen are very worried and are proactively fighting the storm.

The crane worker continued to move the anchor rope to lift other fishing boats up.

Taking advantage of the clear weather, fishermen raised their boats high up, proactively preventing and fighting storm No. 13.

Hundreds of fishing boats have safely anchored at the entrance to Quy Nhon fishing boat anchorage port before storm No. 13.
