2025.5.23 - By Land and By Sea - Flags, Fees, and a Maritime Holiday

Описание: 🚢 By Land and By Sea – an attorney breaking down the week in supply chain
🎙️ Captain’s Log – “Flags, Fees, and a Maritime Holiday”
🗓️ Week of May 20, 2025

This week, I’m unpacking three major stories shaping maritime and supply chain policy:

🔹 Section 301 Tariffs: The U.S. Trade Representative shifts focus from vessel fees to imposing up to 100% tariffs on Chinese-made ship-to-shore cranes, chassis, and cargo handling equipment. This signals a deeper strategic push to reshape port infrastructure sourcing.

🔹 FMC Flags of Convenience Investigation: What started as a possible remedy in the maritime chokepoints investigation is now its own spotlight. The FMC is scrutinizing how foreign flag registries might create unfair advantages and risks in U.S. trade lanes.

🔹 National Maritime Day: Observed on May 22, this day honors the U.S. Merchant Marine’s vital role in our economy and national defense. The 2025 Presidential Proclamation included a call for U.S. government vessels to dress ship in celebration—a visual salute to maritime heritage.
