Just because there's an entire container ship worth of containers floating in the ocean doesn't mean you have to retrieve all of them...

His point is that container losses happen in bursts, so you'd spend a lot of time idle while waiting for a container loss. If you can't pick up enough of those containers, you'd be losing money to keep your ship ready-to-go.
