Liberia will be added to the preferential list of countries when determining tonnage dues for vessels calling Chinese ports
Effective from 14 February 2016, owners of Liberian-registered vessels will be charged tonnage dues when visiting any port in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) at the same rate as tonnage dues charged to vessels that are lawfully registered and flagged with the PRC.
According to the Liberian Maritime Authority’s Marine Notice INT-003 this is implementation of the Agreement between the Government of PRC and the Government of the Republic of Liberia on Maritime Transport signed on November 3, 2015.
It applies to Liberian flagged vessels entering and or operating in Chinese ports. The same measures shall be reciprocally applicable to Chinese flagged vessels entering and or operating in Liberian ports.
