Tariffs Are Back. What It Means for Your Projects — and Your Bottom Line.

As of June 2025, the tariff landscape is shifting fast — and for manufacturers planning capital projects, the cost of waiting may now exceed the cost of acting.

Ship & Shore Environmental (S&SE) wants you to know – this isn’t a drill.

    1. 25–50% import tariffs on industrial components

      Steel, controls, instrumentation – all subject to 25-50% import Tariffs.

    2. U.S.–China tariff ceiling set at 55%

      Even with a tentative framework agreement, the U.S. has locked in high tariffs on a wide range of equipment and fabricated parts — especially those sourced from China or assembled offshore.

    3. North American manufacturing disruptions

      Tariffs on parts from Mexico and Canada caused ripple effects in automotive, coatings, electronics, and semiconductor supply chains — pushing lead times for components used in oxidizers, scrubbers, and control systems.

 

The Impact on Industrial Clients

  • Your project budget could swing 10–25% based on timing.
  • Component costs are rising, and several vendors are re-pricing quotes every 15–30 days.
  • Delays may cost more than early action. Material and freight volatility are eating into margin and causing bid hold expirations.

What S&SE is doing to protect Clients

  1. Locking in freight quotes immediately upon PO to protect clients.
  2. Offering tariff-resistant sourcing options — made in America, or tariff-favored zones.
  3. Advising clients to fast-track projects in Q3 before prices spike again in Q4.

Bottom Line:

Tariffs won’t wait. Neither should your project.

If you’re considering an RTO, DFTO, now’s the moment to act. We’re helping clients secure quotes and material availability before the next wave of cost increases.

Let’s talk timelines, sourcing, and what you can still lock in — before tariffs hit harder.
