According to the head of the Fisheries Department, Patrício de Andrade Constantino, the new fishing boats will replace those granted in 2007.
The official added that the old vessels, handed over in the light of the Programme of Boosting Artisan Fishing, shall be replaced because they do not fit to the fishing methods used in the region.
