美国贸易代表办公室近日宣布对中国海事、物流和造船领域301调查的最终措施，包括征收高额港口 费、运输限制等。美方相关做法损人害己，将推高全球海运成本，扰乱全球供应链稳定，也将损害美国 消费者和企业利益。 美方声称，中国有针对性地主导海运、物流和造船业是导致美国造船和航运业无法满足国内和对外贸易 需求的关键因素。美征收高额港口费等措施旨在促进美国造船业发展，并遏制中国在该领域的主导地 位。 美方将自身问题归咎于中国，既缺乏事实依据，也有悖经济常识。中国造船业能实现今天的发展成就， 靠的不是所谓的"针对性措施"，而是完备的工业体系、训练有素的工程师和产业工人以及开放的商业环 境，是相关企业积极参与国际合作和全球竞争的成果。 征收高额港口费等措施，只不过是已被反复证明无效的保护主义"旧药方"，注定治不了美国造船业的沉 疴，还将破坏全球航运体系，进一步加剧国际贸易混乱。美国商船在全球占比很低，且造船产能极为有 限，相关措施若强行实施，将进一步限制美国国际贸易，推高美国商品价格，加剧通胀压力，反噬美国 经济。据彼得森国际经济研究所测算，一旦中美海运成本增加15%，美国通胀率或上升0.8个百分点。 美国根科船务贸易公司首 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical events such as the postponement of the Iran - US indirect talks and the uncertainty of US - China tariff policies are affecting the shipping market [4][5] - The shipping capacity in May is gradually increasing, with the monthly average weekly capacity around 270,500 TEU, a year - on - year increase of over 18% in 2024. There are many empty sailings on the US routes, and some ships may be transferred to European routes [4] - The 06 and 08 contracts are seasonal peak - season contracts, and the uncertainty of tariff policies affects their valuations. The probability of the Suez Canal reopening in June and August is decreasing [5] - The cargo volume on European routes is fair, but the US tariff policy has a significant impact on US routes. Ship companies are formulating route adjustment plans, and if more US - bound ships are transferred to European routes, European route freight rates will face pressure [5] - It is necessary to closely monitor the possibility of China - US negotiations. If negotiations occur and some goods are exempted from export tariffs, there may be supply - demand mismatches on US routes, which will have a positive impact on European routes. Due to the uncertainty of tariff policies, it is recommended to focus on arbitrage operations [5] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - Online quotes: Different shipping alliances and companies have different price trends. For example, Maersk's quotes have been decreasing, and some companies' quotes in May have significant changes. The price center in the first half of May will continue to decline to around $1,800 - $1,900/FEU, and Maersk's quotes for the second half of May are expected to be between $1,600 - $1,700/FEU [2][3] Geopolitical and Capacity - Geopolitical events: The Iran - US indirect talks' technical meeting was postponed to the 26th [4] - Capacity: The shipping capacity in May is gradually increasing, and there are many empty sailings on US routes. A total of 8 ships on US routes have been transferred to European routes after May, with a total capacity of 91,300 TEU [4] Contract and Price Analysis - Contracts: The 06 and 08 contracts are affected by tariff policies and seasonal factors. The 06 contract will gradually return to "real - world" trading, while the 08 contract will face a game between expectations and reality [5] - Price trends: The price increase expectation in May may be disappointed again. If more US - bound ships are transferred to European routes, European route freight rates will face pressure [5] Strategy - Unilateral: The main contract fluctuates [8] - Arbitrage: Suspend the long 06 and short 10 arbitrage, and focus on the long 08 and short 10 and long 08 and short 06 arbitrage operations [5][8] Market Data - As of April 24, 2025, the total open interest of all contracts of the Container Shipping Index European Line Futures is 93,217 lots, and the single - day trading volume is 95,684 lots. The closing prices of different contracts vary [6] - As of April 18, the SCFI (Shanghai - Europe route) price is $1,316/TEU, the SCFI (Shanghai - US West route) price is $2,103/FEU, and the SCFI (Shanghai - US East) price is $3,251/FEU. As of April 21, the SCFIS (Shanghai - Europe) is 1,508.44 points, and the SCFIS (Shanghai - US West) is 1,368.41 points [7] - In 2025, 82 container ships have been delivered, with a total capacity of 644,300 TEU. As of April 18, 2025, 26 ships with a capacity of 12,000 - 16,999 TEU have been delivered, with a total capacity of 390,000 TEU, and 3 ships with a capacity of over 17,000 TEU have been delivered, with a total capacity of 70,872 TEU [7]

Core Points - The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced the results of the 301 investigation into China's shipping, logistics, and shipbuilding industries, detailing new fee structures for Chinese shipping companies and vessels built in China [1][3]. Implementation Details - The implementation of the new measures will occur in two phases: the first phase will take effect in 180 days, imposing fees on Chinese shipowners and operators, as well as on non-U.S. shipping companies using vessels built in China. The fee structure will vary based on the type of vessel, calculated by net tonnage, with a maximum of five charges per year [3][4]. - The second phase, effective in three years, will impose fees on non-U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels docking at U.S. ports, with rates increasing annually. The latest version of the proposal includes a 180-day buffer and narrows the scope of applicable vessels, enhancing the focus on China [4][5]. Industry Reactions - Industry leaders, such as Andrew Abbott, CEO of Atlantic Container Line (ACL), have expressed strong opposition to the legislation, indicating that it could force their company to exit the U.S. market due to the predominance of Chinese-built vessels in their fleet [5][6]. - Despite ACL's unique situation, the overall share of Chinese-built vessels in the global fleet is relatively low, with only 23% of the current fleet being constructed in China [6][7]. Market Statistics - According to Clarkson's data, Chinese-built container ships account for 39% of the global container fleet, while the order book for container ships in 2024 shows China with a 69% share, indicating a significant increase in new orders [7][9]. - The U.S. container shipping market exports approximately 13.9 million TEUs annually and imports 34 million TEUs, representing about 22.5% of global container shipping trade [12]. Cost Implications - If the new fees are implemented, the cost per container for routes from the U.S. West Coast could increase by $450 to $550, while East Coast routes may see increases of $200 to $300, representing significant percentages of current freight rates [13][17]. - Historical trends suggest that shipping companies are likely to pass these additional costs onto consumers, potentially leading to a market environment similar to that experienced during the pandemic [17]. Comparative Analysis - The U.S. container shipping market's dynamics are compared to the Russian market, which has faced similar external pressures. The U.S. market is expected to maintain supply levels, unlike the drastic changes seen in Russia following the Ukraine conflict [19][21]. - The differences in market size and operational structures between the U.S. and Russia highlight the potential for U.S. shipping companies to adapt rather than exit the market entirely [20][23]. Strategic Opportunities - The 301 legislation may inadvertently create strategic opportunities for Chinese shipping and shipbuilding industries, as market gaps left by exiting foreign companies could be filled by domestic firms [35][36]. - The potential restructuring of the U.S. shipping market could lead to increased market share for Chinese companies, particularly in logistics and shipping services [38][39]. Regulatory Implications - The legislation highlights the inefficacy of current international shipping governance systems, as it may lead to a decrease in the competitiveness of Chinese-built vessels in the global market [40][41]. - China is encouraged to develop its own regulatory framework to counteract the effects of the U.S. legislation, focusing on establishing standards that could enhance its competitive position in the shipping and shipbuilding sectors [43][44].
