The 
Large Cargo Container is a block in Space Engineers. It serves as inventory storage.
The Large Cargo Container comes in two variants: one for Large Ships/Stations that is a 3x3x3 large-grid-blocks cube, and a version for Small Ships that is a 5x5x5 small-grid-blocks cube. The small-grid Large Cargo has the same volume as the large-grid Small Cargo.
Inventory[]
With Realistic settings, the Large Cargo Container has an inventory with a capacity of 15,625L on Small Ships and 421,000L on Large Ships and Stations. The inventory accepts all items, acting as general storage.
If attached to a conveyor system, the container is flagged to receive pushed items from and send pulled items to other blocks.[1] The Large Cargo Container sports a single large conveyor port centered on each side.
Cargo Ship Spawn[]
The Large Cargo Container will spawn in the following ships if "Cargo Ships" is enabled.
- Commercial Freighter
- Mining Carriage
- Mining Hauler
- Mining Transport
- Military Minelayer
- Military Transporter
- Private Sail
Due to its immense size and cost to produce, it is another valuable target in a combat situation. The destruction of an enemy's vital stores, combined with its relative ease of destruction, will leave your enemies a part-strewn mess to clean up. If the container is only partially damaged, its contents will remain inside and can be accessed again by repairing the container.

Notes[]
Prior to the 1.094 update the large ship's large cargo container held only 125kl of cargo, having an array of 27 small cargo containers you could achieve more than 3 times the capacity of a large cargo container, while occupying the same space.
