[edit] Ship Capacity
Each Cargo Ship can hold 500 resources.
There is a Cargo Space value to units in Ikariam, so larger units take up more space, and fewer fit on each Cargo Ship than smaller ones.

[edit] Costs and points
Cargo ships are purchased at a Trading Port. Each Cargo Ship you buy costs more than the previous one. They cost only gold to purchase, and getting them is instantaneous. The game explains that essentially there are always enough cargo ships - it's just a matter of paying for their services.
Formula for the nth trade ship (accurate to
)
The accumulated costs lists the total cost of all ships bought until then. The score value column notes how many points this number of ships is worth in the highscore totals. This is the accumulated value of all ships divided by 300 and rounded down.
