Vietnam is advancing an integrated marine governance framework centered on data and emerging technologies to better manage its coastal resources and maritime activities. Experts have identified accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things sensors, satellite data and autonomous vehicles as critical priorities for strengthening ocean stewardship.
The modernization drive includes plans to develop a national marine data centre that would consolidate information on ocean conditions, maritime activities and environmental changes. This centralized system would enable more coordinated decision-making across government agencies responsible for fisheries, shipping, environmental protection and economic development.
Investment in core technology infrastructure and high-quality human resources has been identified as essential to implementing these initiatives. Developing a skilled workforce capable of managing advanced monitoring systems and analyzing complex datasets will be necessary to realize the potential of the new governance framework.
Authorities are also seeking to create a viable market for marine technology products and services, which could spur private sector innovation while improving operational efficiency across maritime industries. These efforts are designed to balance economic growth through blue economy development with environmental sustainability and improved ocean stewardship.
