The bank has offered fishermen mobile capital every time they go fishing offshore, as well as support for ship-builders. Pham Quang Tung, deputy director of BIDV, said: "Our credit program will offer preferential loans at 0 to 3% to businesses that want to build or buy fishing vessels of iron or other new materials for offshore fishing and logistics work."
