This will actually depend on how long a ship needs to remain 'in port' for cargo and passenger unloading/acquisition/loading. If the 'week in port' doesn't change, you really don't do much better than a single extra trip per month. So, instead of 25 jumps per year, you might get into the 35-40 range - but no better than that.
