SECTION 2 - "Means of transport"

"means of transport" means a road or railway vehicle, aircraft, ship, pipeline or any other contrivance that is or may be used to transport persons or goods;

BEHIND THE WORDS

This definition is intended to encompass all contrivances used to transport persons or goods.

The primary reason for including a definition for means of transport is that in some circumstances these are to be marked with placards to provide information. The Explosives Vehicle Certificate program also requires that means of transport be defined.
