2.    Definitions
(a)
“Freight container” means an article of transport equipment:
1.
of a permanent nature and, accordingly, strong enough to be suitable for repeated use;
2.
specially designed to facilitate the carriage of goods by one or more modes of transport, without intermediate reloading;
3.
fitted with devices permitting its ease of handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another;
4.
so designed as to be easy to fill and empty;
5.
having a length of 20 feet or more.
(b)
“Ro-Ro unit” means wheeled equipment for carrying cargo, such as a truck, trailer or semi-trailer, which can be driven or towed on to a vessel. Port or ships’ trailers are included in this definition. Classifications should follow United Nations ECE Recommendation No 21 “Codes for types of cargo, packages and packaging materials”.
(c)
“Container cargo” means containers with or without cargo which are lifted on to or off the vessels which carry them by sea.
(d)
“Ro-Ro cargo” means goods, whether or not in containers, on Ro-Ro units, and Ro-Ro units which are rolled on and off the vessels which carry them by sea.
(e)
“Gross weight of goods” means the tonnage of goods carried, including packaging but excluding the tare weight of containers or Ro-Ro units.
(f)
“Deadweight (DWT)” means the difference in tonnes between the displacement of a ship on summer load-line in water with a specific gravity of 1,025 and the total weight of the ship, i.e. the displacement in tonnes of a ship without cargo, fuel, lubricating oil, ballast water, fresh water and drinking water in the tanks, usable supplies as well as passengers, crew and their possessions.
(g)
“Gross tonnage” means the measure of the overall size of a ship determined in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969.
(h)
“Cruise passenger” means a sea passenger making a sea journey on a cruise ship. Passengers on day excursions are excluded.
(i)
“Cruise ship” means a passenger ship intended to provide passengers with a full tourist experience. All passengers have cabins. Facilities for entertainment aboard are included. Ships operating normal ferry services are excluded, even if some passengers treat the service as a cruise. In addition, cargo-carrying vessels able to carry a very limited number of passengers with their own cabins are also excluded. Ships intended solely for day excursions are also excluded.
(j)
“Cruise passenger excursion” means a short visit by a cruise passenger to a tourist attraction associated with a port while retaining a cabin on board.
(k)
“Ro-Ro container cargo” means containers with or without cargo loaded on Ro-Ro units which are then rolled on and rolled off the vessels which carry them by sea.
(l)
“Shipborne port-to-port trailer” means a trailer intended to carry cargo (including containers) between two ports on Ro-Ro vessels. It is primarily designed to operate either on board of Ro-Ro vessels or in areas on land within the control of the port authority.
(m)
“Ro-Ro vessel” means a vessel designed to carry Ro-Ro units.
