Activities of multi-day fishing vessels will have to suspended if no fuel subsidy is given

Date:

The All Ceylon Multi-Day Fishing Vessel Owners’ Association says that if the government does not take action to provide a fuel subsidy, the entire country’s multi-day fishing vessels will have to be removed from fishing activities.

They stated that it has become very difficult for them to continue their work in the face of rising fuel prices.

They said it was unfortunate that the government did not pay attention to the fisheries sector, which is a major source of income for the country, adding that if the multi-day fishing vessels were stopped, the country would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue as well.

They made this statement at a press conference held by the association yesterday (25).
