The 30 pages constitute a fairly thorough introduction to the "Network Vessel Sharing Agreement" that will serve as the mandate for the future operational headquarters for P3, based in London. Specifically, the agreement stating how the 255 ships will be part of the collaboration.
The US authority FMC, the Federal Maritime Commission, has voiced concerns and have called for a summit with the authorities in China and the EU to discuss the collaboration.

It has not yet been announced where the summit will be held.
