EVE Online Cargo Hold Capacity CheatsheetGuide to the industrial ships in Eve Online, listing their cargo hold capacity and speciality capacity for both alpha and omega clones.
A guide to the new industrial ships in Eve Online, listing their cargo hold capacities and speciality capacity for both alpha and omega clones. This list also includes the surprising cargo capacity of non-industrial ships by race, useful for low-sec hauling or transporting high-value items in battleships.
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 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, 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.
This list focuses on Frigate to Battleship class of ships and Industrials. It does not cover faction or special ships as this guide is intended to be useful to newer players without access or the desire to fly rare and expensive ships. Never fly what you cannot afford to lose.
Cargo Base is the cargo hold capacity with no skills and no fittings.
Cargo L5 = Cargo hold capacity with all skills at level 5, no fittings.
Cargo (Fittted) = All skills level 5 and fitted for maximum capacity.
Cargo (Rigged) = As fitted plus cargohold optimization rigs.
I used Expanded Cargohold II (+27.5%) over ORE Expanded Cargohold (+29%) simply because the ORE Expanded Cargohold was 500m ISK at the time of writing and very rare.
Industrial Ship Capacity
These are the standard industrial ships used in EVE Online for mining, strip mining and ore transport.

Hauler Capacity
Haulers are slightly different as they have specialised cargo holds for Ore, Minerals, Ice, Gas, Ammo, Planetary Commodities, and Command Centre Modules.

Surprising Cargo Hold Capacity of Non-Industrial Ships
Need a little more firepower or more capacity for fittings? Try some of these different ships which make alternative hauliers. 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.
