Shipwrecks litter the Cua Nhuong sea area.

The wrecks of ships and boats scattered around Cua Nhuong (Cam Xuyen, Ha Tinh ) not only obstruct the waterway but also make it difficult for fishing boats to enter and anchor during storms.

The construction and formation of anchorage areas plays a very important role in seafood trading as well as ensuring the safety of ships taking shelter during storms. However, at Cua Nhuong anchorage area, there is a situation where ships are gradually deteriorating and damaged after a long period of inactivity, but there is no solution to handle it. This not only affects the environment but also causes many consequences.

The shabby scene is created by large and small boats of all sizes that are damaged and rotten. According to the reporter’s investigation, these boats have existed here for more than 3 years and their owners are all fishermen from Cam Nhuong commune.

Over time, if not treated, these ships and boats will rot and become skeletons.

Some local fishermen said that after the old boats are no longer in use, people tow them to shore, remove the machinery and throw away the hulls. Because the boats are built from wood such as: tau, cang le…, the time to decompose is very long.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan - a fisherman in Xuan Bac village (Cam Nhuong commune) said: "The drifting wrecks of boats at the anchorage have existed for a long time, this greatly affects people's docking and trading, especially during the rainy season or stormy seas, when many boats come to take shelter."

...

The carcass of a boat that had not been disposed of for a long time was buried in the sand, blocking the waterway.

Old ships abandoned for long periods of time have polluted the environment, affected waterways and created a messy appearance in the anchorage area.

It is known that the entire Cam Nhuong commune currently has more than 250 fishing boats. With a large number of boats, not counting those from other provinces coming for shelter, refueling or selling seafood, cleaning up the wrecks of "ghost" boats is necessary.

In the coming time, the local authorities will work with households whose boats have sunk or been abandoned for a long time in the anchorage area to have a salvage plan, creating a clear channel for fishermen to enter and anchor safely as well as overcome the environmental pollution situation.
