    THE "LIAN SHUN"
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAJ44/2004

    The barge LIAN SHUN satisfies both elements of the statutory definition of "ship" in s12E(1): it is a vessel (a receptacle for carrying goods, larger than a rowing boat) and it is used in navigation (regular, planned carriage of cargo between places; equipped with navigational apparatus; crewed; registered and Class II licensed). Therefore a warrant of arrest should be issued against the vessel.
