All fishing boats in the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang have been equipped with vessel monitoring system (VMS), and the locality has also updated 100% of fishing vessel data in the National Fisheries Database (VN-Fishbase), according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang has urged relevant quarters to prevent fishing vessels from encroaching on foreign waters, and take stringent measures against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities.
