It's about the port, not the ships. Remember when Obama administration allowed China to become majority owners in the ports of LA, Long Beach, and Seattle? EO 13848 seized the ports, not the ships.
Maybe it's a trap? The ports in Cali are obviously China run. But the ports in TX and FL may not be? Too risky to port in those states with the possibility of exposing the cargo??
There are two other ports, too, that China was minority owners - Miami and Houston. I don't know enough to know how that part would work out BUT I do know that Texas and Florida have other ports.
It has been strongly suggested here on this site that the ships are blocked from port entry as a result of Trump's EO.
If Florida and Texas are allowing the ships in, then obviously the ships are not being blocked.
