- About 40% of fishing vessels will operate under linkage model, including 90%- 100% of offshore fishing vessels will be organized production under model of available fishery logistics service ships on fishing grounds.

- To observe the operation journey at sea of all offshore fishing vessels.

- All offshore fishing vessels will be provided for short-term forecast bulletins about fishing ground (7-15 days per bulletin).

- To decrease post-harvest loss to below 10%. To expand the application of the traceability system from fishing and preservation to processing and sale of products to vessels those exploit a number of other aquatic species with economic value.
