Were those April orders before or after the US port fees came into effect?
Obviously, if they dropped down then went back up, then it's after, right? This is companies first freaking out about the port fees, then realizing that:

1. the US is incredibly unstable and they'd be the fools if they ended up ordering a restrictively and uncompetitively expensive mega-fleet compared to rival companies that stayed with Chinese manufacturing only for the US to revoke the port fees at the next administration to bolster American consumption.

2. the deals that other countries offer are just too bad compared to what China can do. They held back a little to check out all their options and realized that nothing comes close to China.

A long 51 minutes video on CMA CGM LNG powered containership built in JNCX shipyard just a few years ago. Due to the lenght of the video, watch it on TV screen linked by HDMI cable to your device to reduce eye stress. Many nice footages of the shipyard ground.

Who are the westerners. I guess the ship designers/consultants or clients?

China Leads Newbuild Orders Despite Threats of Port Fees and Slowing Market
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company told Nor-Shipping last week that the U.S.’s port fees would not be a barrier to orders in China.
So far, the threat of the fees seems to have done little to drive orders away from Chinese shipbuilders.
