A modernized fishing boat made of composite materials was inaugurated at a shipyard in the coastal city of Nha Trang on August 2 in central Khanh Hoa province.

The composite VND6 billion boat is the result of a cooperation project between Japanese Yanmar Company and the University of Nha Trang Ship Institute (UNINSHIP) aimed at raising fishermen’s income and developing the tuna industry in the region.

Yanmar Company will use the 350cv boat as a model in its training courses, instructing fishermen on how to exploit tuna following advanced Japanese technology.

The Japanese company is planning to cooperate with Vietnamese partners to build 180 composite fishing boats for Binh Dinh, Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa provinces.
