TTM03545 - Qualifying Companies & Ships: Use of ship

Carriage by sea of passengers

The phrase “carriage by sea of passengers” is not defined, so it has its ordinary, everyday meaning. Although largely self-explanatory, the context suggests the transport of ticket-holding people from A to B for a fare in the case of ferries, or as paying customers in the case of a cruise liner.

It does not include

  • chartered yachts, as they are specifically excluded by paragraph 20(1)(b), see TTM03630 
  • harbour or river ferries, as they are specifically excluded by paragraph 20(1)(c), see TTM03640

Examples

For examples see TTM03695
