From: Lianyungang Updated: 2020-03-13 09:25

Recently,　journalists　learned　from　Lianyungang　Maritime　Safety　Administration　that　the　Bureau　has　implemented　the　policy　of　reducing　and　remitting　maritime　fees　and　exempted　the　port　construction　fee　for　foreign　import　and　export　goods　from　March　1st　to　June　30th,　2020.　The　move　is　expected　to　save　more　than　200　million　yuan　in　costs　for　obligatory　payers　(shippers).

On　March　3rd,　the　executive　meeting　of　the　State　Council　determined　measures　to　support　the　logistics　industry,　such　as　transportation　express,　to　ease　difficulties　and　speed　up　the　recovery　and　development.　In　accordance　with　superior　requirements,　Lianyungang　Maritime　Safety　Administration　immediately　notified　the　charging　units　under　its　jurisdiction　to　stop　levying　the　construction　fee　of　foreign　import　and　export　goods　ports　and　timely　handled　the　refund　formalities　for　those　already　charged　from　1　to　3　days.

According　to　preliminary　statistics,　Lianyungang　MSA　has　exempted　115　ships　from　port　construction　fees　of　more　than　10　million　yuan　since　March　1st.
