Another ship with US soybeans docks at Chinese port

A ship carrying US soybeans was moored in China's Dalian port after sitting off coast since July 24, according to Reuters.

The ship, the Star Jennifer, entered the Dalian port Thursday afternoon.

The movements of the vessel suggest it is preparing to unload its cargo, the second to enter China this week and incur hefty import tariffs Beijing imposed on US products last month amid an escalating trade row.

The unloading follows the departure of Peak Pegasus from the same port on Thursday after discharging its cargo of 70,000 tons of US soybeans. It had circled in waters off the port for more than a month before unloading its cargo.
