Responding to Former President Truong Tan Sang’s campaign - calling on sponsors and functional agencies to mobilize to support journey monitoring equipment on fishing vessels for fishermen in Binh Dinh - Leaders of the Saigon Investment Group realizes that investing 12 billion VND in equipping fishermen with vessel monitoring equipment is a very meaningful job, not only encouraging the fishermen’s spirit to continue protect the sea and islands sovereignty of ​​but also related to jointly protecting the sea and islands sovereignty. In addition, the fishing vessel monitoring equipment also creates conditions to support fishermen to comply with the law, contributing to overcoming the European "yellow card", helping the authorities to monitor and timely supporting fishermen to fish safely in Vietnamese waters. (2 typical rules on exporting Vietnamese seafood to the EU, directly related to the urgency in installing equipment to monitor fishing vessels: Rules on traceability for imported seafood products entry into the EU market (No. 1379/2013) effective from December 2014. As a rule, product labels must provide accurate information on harvesting and production.

Therefore, the installation of journey monitoring equipment on fishing vessels for is extremely urgent, such as "magic eyes" to assist ships in determining coordinates and position of ships, ensuring legal fishing and maintaining territorial sovereignty.
