In this Act, unless the contrary intention appears:

Finance Minister means the Minister administering the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997.

Marine navigational aid means:

(a) a lighthouse, lightship, beacon or buoy; or
(b) any other structure, mark, device or apparatus that is an aid to marine navigation, including a radio beacon or an electronic aid, but not including any device or apparatus used, or for use, on a ship, not being a lightship.

Ship includes every description of vessel used in navigation not ordinarily propelled by oars only.

the Safety Convention has the same meaning as in Part IV of the Navigation Act 1912.
