This city hosts six of the country’s seven tuna canneries.
Miguel B. Lamberte Jr., local chief of the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority, which manages the fish port complex, lauded the target of the city hall to make the complex a major international fishing port of call.
He noted the local fish port is now capable of handling large ships, citing the completion more than a year ago of two wharves measuring a total of 430 meters that can accommodate 7,000 gross metric ton vessels.
These wharves have docking capability of nine meters deep, he added.
“We are talking with foreign fishing firms for them to prefer GenSan as a landing destination,” Lamberte said earlier.
From international fishing grounds, it will only take six days for carrier vessels to reach this city, compared with 15 days to Thailand, the fisheries executive said.||| |||buy hydroxychloroquine online with |||
