BEIJING (Reuters) -Vessels owned or operated by U.S. firms and individuals – or those built in the United States or that fly the U.S. flag – will be charged additional port fees per voyage starting on October 14, China's transport ministry said on Friday. The fees are a counter-measure against upcoming U.S. port fees, the ministry said. Also starting on October 14, ships built in China – or operated or owned by Chinese entities – will need to pay a fee at their first port of call in the United States. The fees on China-linked vessels are part of a broader U.S. effort to revive domestic shipbuilding and blunt China's naval and commercial shipping power.
