Many people in EVE Online rely on manufacturing, hauling and trade to earn income. For this reason, it is important to maximise cargo hold capacity in order to move as much as possible as quickly as possible. This table shows the base capacity for each ship, and the maximum capacity with the relevant skills maxed out and all cargo hold optimisation rigs and modules fitted. Knowing what ships have the maximum cargo capacity is also handy if you are moving the home station, in order to move your assets more efficiently.
Cargo hold capacity can be maximised through the training of skills, racial Industrial skill gives a 5% bonus per level to capacity. This can further extend through the use of Expanded Cargohold II modules each giving a 27.5% bonus (whilst sacrificing structure and velocity). Even further capacity can be obtained through jury rigging with Cargohold Optimisation rigs, however, I do not have anywhere near enough ISK to fit all these ships with cargo rigs.
L1 = Base capacity, minimal skills no fittings
L5 = All skills level 5
M = All skills level 5 and fitted for maximum capacity (excluding rigs)
These values are correct as of the Citadel expansion.

Surprising Capacities of non-Industrials
Need a little more fire power or more capacity for fittings? Try some of these different ships which make alternative haulers. Although not as high capacity as specialist industrial hulls, they make up for it either by the substantial addition of HP or the ability to add turrets or launchers for defence.

Thanks so much for this.
Hi Tim, don't forget the Gnosis, with 5 Cargohold II, it's a surprising Cargo
