 (1) A ship is a regulated foreign ship if the ship:
 (a) is a foreign ship; and
 (b) is one of the following:
 (i) a passenger ship;
 (ii) a cargo ship of 500 gross tonnage or more;
 (iii) a mobile offshore drilling unit (other than a unit that is attached to the seabed);
 (iv) a ship of a kind prescribed in the regulations; and
 (c) is in Australian waters; and
 (d) is in, or is intending to proceed to, a port in Australia.
 (2) However, the following ships are not regulated foreign ships:
 (a) a foreign ship regulated as an offshore facility;
 (b) a ship of a kind prescribed by the regulations.
 (3) In this Act, a foreign ship regulated as an offshore facility means a FPSO or FSU that is:
 (a) a foreign ship; and
 (b) either a security regulated offshore facility or part of a security regulated offshore facility.
Note: A FPSO or FSU is both a ship and an offshore facility. As it is an offshore facility, the Secretary may declare it to be a security regulated offshore facility. If this happens, the ship ceases to be a security regulated ship.
