With nearly 191km of maritime border, Quang Ninh has favourable conditions for developing the marine economy, but this also poses complex challenges to security and order, particularly violations related to IUU fishing.

As of January 6, 2026, the province had more than 4,100 fishing vessels of six metres or longer fully registered on the system; 100% had been issued fishing licences, while 99.73% held valid inspection certificates. Fishermen’s awareness and compliance with regulations on IUU fishing have shown clear improvements.
