The article states that during the 1950s and 60s, cargo ships were typically carrying around 8,000 to 10,000 tons of cargo at speeds of 16 to 18 knots. However, by the mid-1970s, the size of cargo ships had increased to around 25,000 to 30,000 tons and speeds had increased to around 20 to 25 knots. Therefore, both the amount of cargo carried and the speed of the ships increased during this time period.
