Like asteroid ore, unrefined ice takes up a large amount of space and can therefore be time-consuming to transport. The best sub-capital ship for transporting ice (and ore) are the [[Miasmos]], a Gallente hauler which can transport up to 63,000 {{m3}} (63 blocks, about two loads from a minimally-skilled [[Mackinaw]], or less than 1.5 loads at max [[Exhumer]] skills) of ice, and the [[Kryos]], another Gallente hauler which got a dedicated ice hold (max. 45,000 {{m3}}) in a 2021 update. If you need to haul even larger quantities, it may be worth training to fly a [[freighter]] (which can hold over ten times as much), or to ship the ice by courier contract.

Ice can also be compressed in [[Upwell structures]] with active Standup Reprocessing Facilities, or by a [[Rorqual]] with an active Industrial Core. Compressed ice takes up only 100 {{m3}} per block, and like compressed ore, compressing ice does not change its reprocessing yield.
