exittransit visa requirement

Question

I am a US citizen on a research vessel scheduled to arrive in Shanghai on April 10th. I do not have a Chinese visa yet, and my intention is upon the vessel's arrival to go straight to the airport and fly back to the US. Do I need a transit or exit visa to do this, and if so, is it possible to get this either before arrival (electronically) or upon arrival? The vessel with be remaining in China for several months, so I don't really have much of an option to depart on the vessel later.

You do have to apply for a China transit visa before arrival.If you are on an international flight with a stop at Shanghai hongqiao or pudong airport for less than 48 hours, you are fee of any visa. However, you are on a ship, then the thing is different.
