TOKYO -- Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines plans to hold off on making new orders with Chinese shipbuilders for liquefied natural gas carriers in the wake of fees touted by the Trump administration for China-made vessels entering U.S. ports.

The operator of the world's largest fleet of LNG carriers will, instead, buy such ships from South Korean builders.
