The Trump administration has announced new guidelines imposing hefty fees on Chinese-built supertankers entering US ports, up to $5.2 million for those owned by Chinese firms. This move is part of a strategy to revive domestic shipbuilding and decrease reliance on Chinese imports. Under the revised fee structure, surcharges will be based on net registered tonnage, drastically increasing costs for larger vessels. Analysts note that various exemptions may temper the impact of these fees, which have escalated from previous proposals of around $3.5 million per port call.
