“The only reason why I use the Chinese is because when we went to the American yards, they told me they couldn’t build a ship for seven years. ... The shipyards that we were talking to were booked up with military. They didn’t have any space to build a commercial ship. If you’re getting $2.5 billion for a destroyer, why are you going to mess around with a $75 million-$80 million cargo ship? It wouldn’t make any sense.” https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/if-china-freight-ship-fines-hit-were-out-of-business-in-us-carrier-warns.html
