The term is actually 'cargo hold' and is used for ships and aircraft for holding cargo, typically below decks. Cargo ships, however, generally carry all cargo in huge steel containers above deck and passenger ships' cargo is people, which are appointed cabins throughout the vessel.

An observer noticed a large oil tanker parked at an oil terminal for 2 days. On the second day more of the hull of the ship was visible. Was the tanker picking up oil or delivering it?
A ship with a cargo rides lower in the water than when it has no cargo. As the cargo is unloaded, the ship rises in the water, revealing parts of the hull which had been below the water level. What the observer was looking at was a ship which was in the process of delivering its oil to the terminal.

Why do ships float on water but steel needles sink?
Buoyancy is based on average density, not the weight of the ship's hull. As it lowers into the water, the water displaced is lighter than the hull, but much heavier than the airinside the ship's hull. As long as the combined weight of the ship and its cargo is less than the water displaced by the hull, it will float. If, however, water fills the ship instead of air, the ship (as we all know) will sink.
