美国港务局协会今年上半年统计发现，目前没有任何一家美国国内制造商在生产码头集装箱起重机。行 业调查显示，今后10年间美国计划采购151台码头起重机，其中约80%从中国采购。美国港务局协会会 长戴维斯表示，美国起重机制造业已经"消失了几十年"，对中国起重机征收高关税绝不会"像施魔法般 重振"美国起重机制造业。 《华尔街日报》直言，美国政府官员担心美方在港口设备方面过于依赖中国。近几十年来，中国已在造 船、集装箱和港口起重机制造等海事工业制造业领域占据主导地位。若停止从中国进口，美国一时很难 获得替代货源，同时，培育并提升本土制造能力也非易事。 美国港务局协会表示，除中国之外目前世界上只有少数几家公司生产可供国际采购的港口集装箱起重 机。包括芬兰科尼起重机、日本三井工程造船和瑞士利勃海尔。但美国港口运营商表示，这些起重机的 成本比中国产起重机至少高出15%，而且这些公司加起来的产能也无法满足美国每年约20台新起重机的 需求。虽然美国政府一直在推动建立本土起重机制造业，但美国航运业官员表示，建立一个国内产业需 数年时间，而且美国制造的起重机成本将高于亚洲和欧洲制造的起重机。（甄翔） 【环球时报综合报道】美国政府对中 ...
