Offences Against Property
(1) Mischief to a rail/aircraft/decked vessel/20-ton+ vessel, intending or knowing likely to destroy/endanger it, is punished with up to 10 years' imprisonment plus fine. (2) The same by fire or explosive substance is punished with life imprisonment or up to 10 years' imprisonment plus fine.
This severely punishes sabotage of major transport infrastructure (trains, planes, large ships), with an even higher penalty when fire or explosives are used.
Deliberately sabotaging a train or aircraft to endanger it, especially using fire or explosives, carries this section's severe penalty given the mass-casualty risk involved.
