@jeder don't they also have the Panama Canal as a limiting factor of ship size? Like most of the biggest container ships don't fit though the canal AFAIK.

Interestingly, this was a major design constraint for the US navy during World War 2. It's the reason all their battleships are smaller and less wide than the Japanese ones (e.g., Yamato is significantly wider than any US battleship)
