Posted on the Chinese-built, port call fees last week here
Biggest take-away - six month delay in enforcement.
UK shipping broker Gibson offered more insight. Additional take-aways
- Final decision is still in flux
- Complexity of form and definitions ā many foreign tanker companies have opted for leasing via Chinese financial entities
- Nice tabular data on % of Chinese-built tankers (current). Also mentioned, lots of existing orders 67% are from Chinese yards
As usual, data for some routes is helpful. Generally, owners making money - dirty tanker owners with better margins
