is obligatory on ships if they are prepared for sale, and their value is assessed along with other trade goods when a year has passed. However, if they are for transport and not for trading in their physical entities, then there is no zakat on their intrinsic value. Rather, zakat is obligatory on their income if it reaches the (minimum threshold) and a year has passed over it.
