The service configuration is characterized by the distance of service and the number of calling ports. A study ease is presented for illustration. At last such a conclusion is drawn that given a fixed profit, the ship size will change with the extension of service in the same direction, while the change rate of ship size is a little higher than that of the extension of service.展开更多
