🔥 Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!
The U.S. thought it had the upper hand.
On October 14, Washington is set to impose historic port fees on China-built and China-operated ships — up to millions per call.
But Beijing just struck back.
On September 28, Premier Li Qiang signed a sweeping decree:
China will charge special fees on U.S. ships
Block American vessels from Chinese ports
Restrict U.S. operators from maritime data and services
In short: if America writes the fees, China writes the rules.

Let’s dive in…
📖 What’s Really Happening?
This isn’t about a few port charges. It’s about who controls global shipping law.
The U.S. wants to punish China’s shipbuilding dominance (80% of global fleet built there).
China is countering by legalizing retaliation, creating a playbook for tit-for-tat strikes.
Industry insiders say the number of affected U.S. ships may be small… but the ripple effects could be huge.
💡Freightos put it bluntly:
“Not everyone is convinced the U.S. port call fees will even materialize — they may just be a bargaining chip.”🚢 Why It Matters for Shipping?
Think of this as a trial balloon for a bigger maritime trade cold retaliation.
