The development in container ship sizes has happened so fast that the most frequently used vessel type on the key Asia-Europe trade has seen a big leap up in size in just a few years, according to a market review performed by SeaIntel.

Ahead of 2015, the race to secure bigger ships has increased the size of the most frequently used vessels, so that 47 percent of the container ships on the same route today can hold 13,000 to 13,999 teu, notes SeaIntel.
