The U.S. has proposed punitive new fees on international shipping that would target vessels owned by Chinese companies or manufactured in Chinese shipyards.
The new policy would charge Chinese -owned cargo ships, as well as third -country flagged vessels built in China , $1 million or more per port-of-call.
The proposal is open for public comment until March 24 , at which point the administration will determine whether or not to implement it.
U.S. port fees on ships that carry majority of the US trade would be $1 million -plus per port visit fee.
The winners would be Japan , Korea , the Philippines , other countries where commercial shipbuilding is on a larger scale today than the United States .
The losers, he added, will include U.s. consumers, as the port fees are passed on in the form of higher prices for imported goods.
