Part 2/8:
The newly implemented port fees target Chinese-registered, built, and operated vessels, imposing a charge of $50 per ton. This fee is set to increase annually by $30 until it reaches a maximum of $140 per ton or $150 per container, whichever is greater. Interestingly, this announcement allowed for public comment, which led to some noteworthy adjustments in response to the concerns raised about the practicality and feasibility of the initial proposals.
