16  Meaning of regulated Australian ship
 (1) A ship is a regulated Australian ship if the ship is an Australian ship that is:
 (a) a passenger ship that is used for overseas voyages; or
 (b) a cargo ship of 500 gross tonnage or more that is used for overseas voyages; or
 (c) a mobile offshore drilling unit that is on an overseas voyage (other than a unit that is attached to the seabed); or
 (d) a ship of a kind prescribed in the regulations.
Note: Regulations under this Act may make different provision with respect to different kinds of regulated Australian ships: see subsection 33(3A) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
 (2) However, the following ships are not regulated Australian ships:
 (a) an Australian ship regulated as an offshore facility;
 (b) a ship of a kind prescribed by the regulations.
 (3) In this Act, an Australian ship regulated as an offshore facility means a FPSO or FSU that is:
 (a) an Australian 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.
