Possibly the biggest selling point of the Orca is the huge amount of cargo space that it supports for a ship that “only” costs around 700 million ISK.  The ship has 4 different areas for storage.

The first is the '''Cargo Hold'''.  This starts off holding 30,000 m3, and can be expanded through modules, rigs, and an additional 5% bonus for each level of the Industrial Command Ship skill.  Maxed out for hauling, you could fit over 90,000 m3 in the cargo hold.  This is the ONLY hold on the ship that receives bonuses from mods, rigs, and skills.

* The second is a 50,000 m3 '''<span style="color:#F5DEB3">Ore Hold</span>''' that can contain only mined materials (unrefined ore, ice and gas).  If you try to drag modules or anything else into the ore hold, you’ll get an error message.

* The next area on the ship is called the '''<span style="color:#F5DEB3">Fleet Hangar</span>''', which holds another 40,000 m3.  This hangar can be made available to other fleet members or members of the pilot's corporation for access in space.  This is very useful for supporting mining operations, as mining fleetmates can then use the Fleet Hangar to store mined ore or ice.  The Orca pilot can then move that ore or ice to the Ore Hold or Cargo Hold, or leave it in the Fleet Hangar, as space permits.
 
* The final cargo hold is actually a '''<span style="color:#F5DEB3">Ship Maintenance Bay</span>'''.  This area holds 400,000 m3, which sounds like a great deal, but there’s a catch – the only items you can put into the bay are assembled ships.  To give you an idea of what would fit in the bay, here are the sizes of some common vessels, when assembled:

**[[Rifter]] – 27,289 m3
 
**[[Scythe]] 89,000 m3
The final cargo hold is actually a '''Ship Maintenance Bay'''.  This area holds 400,000 m3, which sounds like a great deal, but there’s a catch – the only items you can put into the bay are assembled ships.  To give you an idea of what would fit in the bay, here are the sizes of some common vessels, when assembled:
**[[Osprey]] 107,000 m3
 
**[[Skiff]]/[[Procurer]] – 100,000 m3
*Hulk/Covetor 200,000 m3
**[[Mackinaw]]/[[Retriever]] 150,000 m3
*Mackinaw/Retriever 150,000 m3
**[[Hulk]]/[[Covetor]] 200,000 m3
*Skiff/Procurer – 100,000 m3
**[[Raven]] – 486,000 m3
*Osprey 107,000 m3
*Scythe 89,000 m3
*Rifter – 27,289 m3
*Raven – 486,000 m3


So if you’re using this to support Hulks, you’ll fit at most 2 in the bay.
