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.

What is the plimpsole line?
Draft marker on the hull of a ship.
How can you stabilize and unstable ship and correct a negative GM at the same time?
Change hull form (which is impractical) Lower Center of Gravity. (i.e. shifting heavy weights to a lower position)
How many miles does a cargo ship travel in 1 day?
380
What is a real life example on circles?
finding the measurement of a port hole on a ship
Is there any difference between a Jacob's ladder and pilot ladder?
Jacob's ladders do not have spreaders to avoid it from twisting when resting against the ship's hull
What affects the level a cargo ship floats in water?
The level a cargo ship floats in water is influenced by factors such as the weight of the cargo and the ship itself, the distribution of that weight, the density of water, and the buoyancy force acting on the ship's hull. Changes in any of these factors can affect how high or low the ship sits in the water.
What is the difference between a long ship and a knarr?
The knarr was a cargo ship, the hull was wider, deeper and shorter than a longship.The Knarr was a cargo ship, the longship was a battleship
What has no weight but is heavy enough to sink a ship?
A hole. A hole in the ship's hull can cause it to take on water and eventually sink, even though the hole itself has no weight.
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.
What is the homonyms of hole?
Two homonyms of "hole" are "whole" and "hull". "Whole" refers to something complete or unbroken, while "hull" refers to the outer covering or shell of a ship or fruit.
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.
How do you spell cargo?
That is the correct spelling of "cargo" (goods being transported, especially by ship or plane).
What caused Titanic to flounder?
Titanic struck an iceberg and ripped a hole in the hull, causing the ship to sink.
What is the most important part of the ship?
The most important part of a ship is its hull, as it provides the structure and buoyancy necessary for the vessel to float and move through the water. The hull also protects the internal components and cargo from water and external elements. Without a strong and well-designed hull, the ship would not be able to function properly at sea.
What cargo when put on a wooden ship could smash the hull like it was made of paper if it got wet?
Alkaline Metals. KABOOM!
What are the basic parts of a ship?
Basic parts of the ship: Hull - Everything is built onto this and the cargo is stored on/in it. Bridge - All the navigation goes on here. Engine Room - Found at the bottom of the ship and is the lair of the chief engineer. Accommodation block - Where the ships crew live. Cargo Hold(s) - Where the ships' cargo is stored. Propeller(s) - Push the ship through the water.
