NEWS ARTICLES – US shippers slam the office of US Trade Representative’s port fee plan. The new Administration’s plan to revive US shipbuilding by levying hefty fees on China-built or flagged vessels calling at US ports is running criticism from US industry groups, including US vessel operators. Virtually all welcome the idea of revitalizing US shipbuilding, but studies show it would cause significant harm to US businesses and the economy. Washington wants to curb China’s dominance in the sector and incentivize domestic vessel production. China’s share of shipbuilding from less than 5% in 1999 to over 50% in 2023. It is proposed that charges could be imposed every time a Chinese built ship calls at a US port could be more than $1.5m per call. In the event of a China-built ship operated by a Chinese carrier that has orders for new vessels to be built in China docking at a US port, the fees could be as high as $3.5m. Dozens of trade groups and business owners are attending a two-day session. Some 317 associations wrote to the US Trade Representatives’ Office. While the World Shipping Council supports the goal of building a strong and vibrant US shipbuilding there will be rippling effects across the entire maritime industry, probably resulting in increased costs for US exporters and consumers as well as supply chain inefficiencies. www.TheLoadStar.com
