Proposed USTR fees to take MPV freight costs sky high

21 Mar 2025: About 98% Project Carrier (including Deck Carriers) calls at US ports in the last 12 months would have been impacted by the proposed entrance fees from the USTR, as 76% of these calls are made by China-built ships, while 22% are by non-China-built ships which also face fines since their operators have China-built ships in their fleet. In the General Cargo category, 56% port calls would have been subjected to these fees, since 34% of the vessels are China-built.
