Vessel: MV MANUKAI Type: Container ship Flag: United States Owner/Operator: Matson Port: Ningbo Port, China Net Tonnage (NRT): 11,149 Fee charged: RMB 4,458,400 (≈ USD 627,943.66 at 7.1 exchange rate) Timeline: Arrived — October 13 (a.m.) All fast — October 14 (a.m.) Sailed — October 15 (a.m.) The reported charge aligns with the rate stipulated in the Implementation Measures on the Collection of Special Port Dues on U.S.-Linked Vessels, issued by China's Ministry of Transport and effective October 14, 2025, setting the initial fee at CNY 400 per net ton. While the case has not yet been officially confirmed, industry observers note that MV MANUKAI’s port call at Ningbo coincided exactly with the regulation’s enforcement date — marking what could be the first on-record application of China's reciprocal port fee. by Xinde Marine News The opinions expressed herein are the author's and not necessarily those of The Xinde Marine News.
