The impact of Chinese\u00a0port fees on U.S.-owned and -operated ships has proved milder than expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Linerlytica said in a report on October 21 that, although Beijing widened the fees to ships owned or operated by companies that are at least 25% owned by U.S. citizens from October 14, there has been no fallout.<\/p>\n

Gemini partners Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd diverted two of their U.S.-flagged ships on the transpacific TP7\/WC5 service to avoid the port fees, and only U.S. liner operator Matson\u2019s ships have been hit by the retaliation against the U.S. Trade Representative\u2019s fees on Chinese-built, -owned and -operated vessels calling at U.S. ports.<\/p>\n

Linerlytica noted that U.S.-flagged vessels operated by CMA CGM\u2019s U.S. subsidiary, APL, were exempt as the French line is building many vessels in China.<\/p>\n

Linerlytica said: \u201cThe situation remains fluid, with the final determination of the ownership threshold still to be announced.\u201d<\/p>\n

But these disruptions saw transpacific freight rates rise sharply: On Friday, the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index recorded a 32% jump (from October 10) in Shanghai-U.S. West Coast prices, to $1,936 per 40ft, and Shanghai-U.S. East Coast gained 16%, to $2,853 per 40ft. The analyst added: \u201cFurther momentum is expected next week as carriers take advantage of the surge in bookings ahead of a potential tariff hike on Chinese imports.\u201d<\/p>\n
