Why did the 1939 cash-and-carry amendment to the Neutrality Acts favor Britain over Germany?

The amendment required countries buying American supplies to pay in cash and carry them home on their own ships. Britain’s larger fleet made it much better able to transport arms across the ocean, while Germany faced greater difficulty getting ships through the British naval blockade. So the policy favored Britain because it had more ships available to carry the goods.
