The US government wants to assign all ships built in China or floating under the Chinese flag at US ports. Regarding this, related to the US President was prepared by the US President's government reported by Reuters.
The purpose of the fees is the efforts to revive the shipbuilding in the country and weaken China's influence on the world transport industry. According to the Center for Strategic and International Research, since 1999, the proportion of Chinese shipbuilders has increased from 5 to more than 50 % of the cargo ships. At the same time, shipbuilding in the United States has reached its peak in the 1970s and is now only a small part of industrial production.
This document is based on the proposal of the US trading representative office about collecting camping fees with the amount of up to $ 1.5 million from ships made of China into US ports. The US government also plans to call on similar action allies, otherwise they are threatened with various sanctions. The exact size of the fees, as well as the order of their collection, has not been specified.
Analysts warned that the US plan could lead to significant costs for large aircraft carriers, including Chinese Cosco, Sweden MSC, Maersk Denmark, Taiwan often green and many other ships transporting large quantities, fuel and cars.
