US ports welcomed a crucial tariff exemption, saving them over US$ 130 million in unexpected costs on Chinese-made cranes.

The Port of Bellingham received a US$ 17.9 million grant to reconnect its terminal to the BNSF main line, improving transportation efficiency by 2028.

Ports in Washington State, Puerto Rico, San Diego, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands received US$48.4 million from the RAISE program.

The AAPA urged USTR to reverse a 25% tariff on Chinese-built STS cranes, citing increased infrastructure costs and potential project cutbacks due to no domestic alternatives.

Responding to report findings, AAPA has issued several recommendations for policymakers and relevant stakeholders to help create a level playing field and expedite decarbonization activities for ports.

MARAD, the US Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration unit, and the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) are to survey the country’s port authorities and terminal operators in a bid to more accurately identify their cargo handling requirements, particularly for electric machines, over the next five-to-10 years.
