Mitsui O.S.K. Lines on Smartkarma
Smartkarma, an independent investment research network, features analyst coverage of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines by reputable analysts like Travis Lundy. In his report titled “The USTR’s New Proposed Actions for Section 301 Investigation on China’s Maritime/Shipping Sectors,” Lundy discusses the recent Section 301 investigative report by the USTR on Chinese Shipping/Logistics/Shipbuilding and the proposed actions that could impact US users covering new shipper fees. Lundy highlights concerns about China’s efforts to dominate global shipping, as outlined in the flawed report, and the potential consequences for US commerce. Despite data inaccuracies, the Trump administration has taken steps based on these findings, such as imposing fees on Chinese liners and international liners with Chinese ships, leading to potential losses for US users.
