"China's countermeasures take effect: First U.S. ship fined 4.46 million yuan, shipping companies try various ways to avoid losses"
To respond to the U.S. unilateral imposition of port fees on Chinese vessels, China officially started charging U.S. vessels a special port fee on October 14.
According to a report by Hong Kong's South China Morning Post on October 17, it was reported that the container ship "Manukai" of the American Maersk Line has been the first to "taste the bitterness." At the same time, shipping companies are also quickly adjusting routes and restructuring their enterprises to avoid potential losses.
Ship tracking data shows that the "Manukai" container ship arrived in Ningbo on the 13th, unloaded cargo on the day when China's special port fee took effect, and was charged 4.46 million yuan in fees, and then left for Shanghai. This incident has not yet been officially confirmed by Ningbo Port or the government. However, due to the ship's berthing time, tonnage, and operational background matching the policy implementation details, the industry generally believes that this is the first case of penalty after the implementation of China's special port fee.
