Is it more efficient to run one very big ship or 5 smaller ones? I’m guessing the studies lean to the former otherwise the freight companies would stick to smaller vessels.

You can get a 20-foot container shipped from China for <£3000 and that container can hold 400 flat screen TVs. That's a shipping cost of £7 per TV. You can't get RMSD within the UK for that. If your ship stacks 20000 containers all the better for the shipper. In shipping, size matters.
I’d be surprised if it’s only £3k now mind.
Closer to 10k now
Sure I read it’s gone up to 15k from 3k
CO2 emitted per mile travelled, per tonne of cargo, is very low compared to every other mode of transport
