One thing that I'm curious about is with the chart for number of contracts by volume hauled. I understand the peaks at both ends, but there is a blip in the middle at 440k to 460k m3. What caused that?

I don't have a firm answer for you. We don't track contents. Battleships are a good guess, but the precision of the particular volume and high number of contracts makes me suspect that these represent regular shipments of mid-price minerals or perhaps mixtures of low value and high value minerals. I'm not familiar enough with PI product volumes vs value, but that might be a possibility as well.

Fitted battleships are mostly likely, there are a lot in the 450-470 m3 range (with a few higher/lower).

On my alt, a lot of my contracts for T2 materials / high-end minerals run up against the 1B ISK collateral limit, so those are often only 20-40k m3 hauls.

Battleships are definitely a good guess. It's just that there are so many of them. Perhaps it's related to incursion running?

it's not battleship.

we've had a few clients hauling Ice and related stuff to jita in loads of 430k. the worth of the cargo was around 1b, and they used that tactics to "reward" us with false round trip. (it was easy for any pilot with 2b collateral to take 2..)
