Well they didn't mention 24000 teu.

Or are you saying they wouldn't be limited by panamax, so could theoretically lower costs on the shipping portion?

They did calculate with 24000 TEUs, edited the comment afterwards. All good.

Yup, I did. I had that thought like, wait, can that big a ship fit through the Panama canal? The answer is... no ;)
