Not to be a total nit but thought it worth pointing out that 20% longer transit time for a particular transit route likely does not directly translate to a 20% reduction in annual capacity as port delays for on/offloading and other factors also determine annual capacity and they can be extremely variable as well.
- bonestamp2 3y agoFair enough, it was just meant to connect the dots on how a longer trip also means lower capacity.
