How can a pirate board a spaceship without teleportation?

+0
−0

Say we have a large cargo spaceship and a small pirate spaceship. The pirate ship is the only one with any sort of weaponry (lasers, missiles etc.), but for the pirates to safely retrieve the cargo, they decide to board the ship and take it manually since teleportation is impossible.

So, how could a pirate board the cargo ship, without letting the precious cargo fly off into space, if a gaping hole in the side of the cargo bay would certainly mean the cargo would get ejected into space?
