The other half of this thought pattern is what a commercial ships functional working year looks like movement wise. The average ship on the port to port model makes 25 jumps a year. So looking at that service schedule one can see the possibilities of a modified jump schedule. Also note with the modified jump schedule the time lost to cargo movement in port is reduced.

Note I am not trying to replace the model, I am just pondering what the model means when one considers all the possibilities.
