After Pressure From Maritime Sector, US Backtracks and Modifies Charges on Chinese Ships; Grain and Coal Exporters Will Benefit From Exemption

The United States government has decided to revise the port fees that would be applied to ships built in China. The change was announced after strong criticism from maritime sector companies. The initial proposal, presented in February, included fees of up to US$ 1.5 million per ship call.

New Rule Reduces Impact for Exporters

With the new measure, the fee will be charged only once per trip, with a maximum of six charges per year. Additionally, ships arriving empty to pick up bulk exports, such as grains and coal, will be exempt from the charge.

The change aims to protect companies operating in regions like the Great Lakes and the Caribbean. It also seeks to strengthen the US shipbuilding industry and reduce China’s influence in international maritime transport.

The original proposal received harsh criticism from exporters and shipowners. They argued that the cumulative fee could harm the competitiveness of American products and increase costs for consumers.

Companies like MSC and Maersk warned about potential losses to their international routes. Pressure from the sector contributed to the government’s decision to review the measure.

New Rules Take Effect in Six Months

The implementation of the new fees will occur in six months. There will be a differentiation in values between bulk carriers and container ships.

Meanwhile, the US government continues to investigate China’s trading practices in the maritime sector. American authorities accuse the country of maintaining unfair policies.

An hearing is already scheduled for May. It will discuss possible tariffs of up to 100% on Chinese port equipment, such as cranes and chassis.
