Shippers aren't willing to pay more for diddly.....
i agree they like frequency and port coverage but they could care not a whit if the ship was 3500 teu or 35,000 teu so long as the price was right and the goods got to their buyer within the time specified.

A shipper is certainly willing to pay more for frequent service if it helps reduce his warehousing requirements at either end.
