判断一条船是货船还是客船还是特殊用途船,就是看乘客是否超过12人,特殊人员是否超过12人。根据SOLAS
CHAPTER I GENERAL PROVISIONSPART A APPLICATION, DEFINITIONS, ETC. Regulation 2 Definitions (e) A passenger is every person other than: (i) the master and the members of the crew or other persons employed or engaged in any capacity on board a ship on the business of that ship; and
(ii) a child under one year of age. (f) A passenger ship is a ship which carries more than twelve passengers.
(g) A cargo ship is any ship which is not a passenger ship.
根据 SPS PREAMBLE
1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-fourth session, revised the Code of Safety for Special Purpose Ships (SPS Code) adopted by resolution A.534(13) to bring it up to date with amendments to SOLAS and to extend the voluntary application of the revised Code to include training ships, whether or not covered by the application requirements of SOLAS.
3 For the purposes of this Code, a special purpose ship is a ship of not less than 500 gross tonnage which carries more than 12 special personnel, i.e. persons who are specially needed for the particular operational duties of the ship and are carried in addition to those persons required for the normal navigation, engineering and maintenance of the ship or engaged to provide services for the persons carried on board.
4 Because special personnel are expected to be able bodied with a fair knowledge of the layout of the ship and have received some training in safety procedures and the handling of the ship’s safety equipment, the special purpose ships on which they are carried need not be considered or treated as passenger ships.
这条船装载的160个学生,肯定是没有船员证的,可以作为乘客也可以作为特殊人员。因为毕竟他们在船上学习可以视为在船上工作有参与船的航行,接受过一定的航海技能训练,所以作为特殊人员是可以的。那么由于该船搭载了大量的特殊人员160个,那么该船就是特殊用途船。特殊用途船,也可以装货啊,也可以有吊车啊。
所以现在来看CCS将该船登记成散货船bulkcarrier是明显违反了国际公约。
