Argo MPUV Cargo

flight-ready Transporter Light Freight Size 1 since Alpha 2.5.0

The Argo Astronautics MPUV Cargo is a dedicated merchant transfer ship. A ubiquitous intergalactic stevedore, vast numbers of MPUV Cargos are responsible for loading and unloading goods onto ships that can't otherwise land on planets or drydocks, such as the Hull D and the Orion. Some hauler captains choose to own and operate their own Argo, while others prefer to contract with the local Argo owners found at many of the busier ports.

What CIG says RSI Ship Matrix

flight-ready Light Freight Transporter Small

The ARGO Astronautics MPUV-1C (commonly ‘Argo Cargo’) is a dedicated merchant transfer ship, a ubiquitous intergalactic stevedore. Vast numbers of Argo Cargos are responsible for loading and unloading goods onto massive long-haul transports and miners that cannot otherwise land on planets or drydocks, such as the Hull D and the Orion. Some captains choose to own and operate their own Argo, while others pay privately owned ships operating as port services a rental fee for performing the unloading process.
