Everything you need to know about The Chop Shop's Cargo Ship Robbery.

The Cargo Ship Robbery is one of the Salvage Yard robberies introduced in GTA Online's The Chop Shop DLC. This robbery challenges players to infiltrate a docked cargo ship at Elysian Island, locate a target vehicle among shipping containers, and extract it.

This page will direct you through each phase, from initial setup and preparation to the action-packed finale and tips for maximizing your rewards through bonus challenges.

To get in on the action, you need to own the Salvage Yard business in GTA Online. However, you're limited to three robberies per week. Once you've pulled off the job, you'll have to wait a week before going back for more.

Each heist comes with bonus challenges. Complete one, and you pocket $10,000. But if you complete all three, you're looking at an extra $20,000 bonus on top. So, adding it all up, and you can get $50,000 by completing all the bonus challenges.
