According to the process, when detecting a fishing vessel crossing the boundary of the permitted territorial waters, the supervisory unit of the monitoring system shall determine the information (the ship owner, registration number, active occupation, etc.), the itinerary of the ship from the start of crossing the boundary line; notify collected information to relevant agencies and units (The People's Committee of the district where the fishing vessel owner registers the permanent residence, the Command of the Provincial Border Guard, the Command of the Coast Guard Region 3, the Command of the Region 4 Navy, the Sub-Department of Fisheries Control of Region V). In case the ship owner (or captain) intentionally violates, the supervisory unit shall summarize information and report it to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Provincial Border Guard Command for investigation and handling.
In addition, when detecting that the fishing vessel has lost its itinerary monitoring signal while in operation, the supervisory unit will contact the ship owner (or captain) of the ship to check information and instruct corrective measures, and at the same time notify the relevant agencies and units.
