He noted that the potential impact on the Caribbean could be even more severe than the shipping cost fluctuations experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIf the proposals are advanced in the present form, the cost increases will be sustained for some time,\u201d he stated. \u201cMost of the sectors rely on companies operating at least one Chinese-built vessel. This would mean that, at the very least, a fine of US$1 million could apply per port call, but given how the USTR measures were proposed, the fines could reach as high as US$3.5 million where products of US origin are not carried in US-flagged and operated vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ambassadors in attendance expressed strong concern about the potential impact of these measures on the Caribbean Community.
