About This Video
New U.S. rules could upend how global ocean freight works.
In this clip, Kyle Blount explains why a proposed fee targeting vessels built in China (and Chinese carriers) could reverse decades of shipping strategy. If large vessels are penalized, smaller ships—less efficient but exempt—could become the new normal.

More feeder vessels
More port congestion
Less schedule reliability
A breakdown in shipping economies of scale
This isn’t just a regulatory change—it’s a global logistics reset.
