I guess the definition will have to be along the lines of 'a vessel wot can carry road vehicles'. Mind you, it makes you wonder how much profit accrues from the on-board spend by passengers and HGV drivers, and from the cars and coaches themselves, in the face of UK minimum waged customer-facing crew.
