“Although the selling price is lower than previous sea sessions, the harvest is good. After many years of celebrating Tet at sea, this year we want to go home with our families. We will rest and then prepare the necessities to go back to sea after Tet,” Mr. Anh said excitedly.

After deducting expenses, each person earned about 30 million VND.
“After days at sea, there is no greater happiness than celebrating Tet with family and loved ones. We are taking the opportunity to go home to shop for Tet and celebrate the new year with our families. On January 10, the ship will continue to set sail,” Mr. Binh shared.

While hundreds of fishing boats come ashore to celebrate the traditional Tet holiday, dozens of fishing boats of Quang Ngai fishermen are rushing to clean, refuel, and buy necessities to prepare to fish throughout Tet at sea.

Having just docked at the port to sell fish to traders, the fishing boat QNg 95693 TS captained by Mr. Tran Van Trung, from Dinh Tan village, Binh Chau commune, turned around and continued to set sail. For fishermen, the trip through Tet is a special trip. Not only do they bring necessary necessities, but they also bring fresh flowers, banh chung, banh tet, jam, wine, beer, etc. to celebrate New Year's Eve and welcome the new year at sea.
“During Tet, everyone wants to reunite and be with their families, but this year the fishing industry is difficult, so we decided to fish during Tet. At this time, there are few fishing boats, so we can easily catch many valuable seafood streams, plus the selling price is high, so a trip to sea during Tet will bring high income,” Mr. Trung confided.

Head of the provincial Fisheries Department Nguyen Van Muoi said that the Department has assigned civil servants to be on duty 24/7 with the fishing vessel monitoring system to monitor and supervise fishermen's fishing activities, and promptly support when situations arise. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent signs of violations of regulations on prevention and combat of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and absolutely not allow vessels to violate foreign waters.
