Hold

The hold is a place where commodities and pieces of eight can be stored on a ship or inside stalls, shoppes, forts, or palaces. A ship's hold can be viewed by anyone on the ship, and anyone may deposit PoE into the hold or deliver orders to the hold. However, only the owner or those with the rank of fleet officer or above in the crew may modify its contents. The ship must also be unlocked for a fleet officer to modify the hold's contents. A building's hold may only be accessed or modified by the owner (or managers, if applicable).

Accessing the Hold
To inspect a ship's hold, to buy or sell commodities from the hold, or to bid on commodities at the market, click on "Ship's Hold" aboard the ship, then click the radial menu icon "Inspect the Hold". The hold of a building may be accessed using a similar radial menu located inside the building.

Inventory Management Screen
The Inventory Management screen is used to inspect the contents of the hold, deposit or withdraw PoE from the hold, transfer commodities to another location, or deliver orders from shoppes or stalls on the same island.



This interface includes the following features:
 * 1) A list of all the commodities in the hold.  Each commodity type (e.g. ship supplies, herbs, etc.) is color-coded for easier navigation.
 * 2) The number of each commodity in the hold.
 * 3) The total mass of each commodity.  This cannot exceed the capacity of the hold.
 * 4) The total volume of each commodity.  This cannot exceed the capacity of the hold.
 * 5) The number of each commodity to transfer when using the transfer function.

 * 10) Your pending orders.  To deliver an order to the hold you are inspecting, click the order you would like delivered, then click the "Deliver" button.  The order must be from a shoppe or stall on the same island as the hold you want to deliver the order to.  On Doubloon Oceans, you will be required to pay any necessary doubloon fees at the time of delivery.

Hold Capacity
The holds of different ships or buildings have different storage capacities, both in mass and in volume. In buildings, the total mass/volume of the commodities inside the hold cannot exceed these limits:

On ships, the hold capacity is also shared by the booty chest. The total combined mass/volume of the commodities in the hold and the booty chest may not exceed the hold's capacity limits:
