There’s a distinctive looking red and white boat that’s been parked off the Gulf Road in Salmiya for a few weeks now and I’m curious as to what it is. Does anyone know?
Update: Turns out its the new Failaka ferry called Obu Alkhair

Seems to be a cargo ship.

Oh! I knew someone here would know what that was. Thanks I’ll update the post when I’m back on a computer

Isnt there another strange looking vessal (gray color) that is docked around there.. what is that?
You really want to go there 😏
I believe that grey vessel is Fahad 1, maybe something to do with the scientific centre expansion construction. I sailed past that area last week and it seems they are dumping construction waste into the sea as the water around there is not looking too good.

Hello , looks like the kind of ferry boats used between islands in greece , tunisia … double doors to make boarding / leaving the boat fast and easy for the cars.
Mark just a heads up that if you don’t know STC still isn’t working with your site.
still? I thought i got it working. Ok I’m gonna disable something on the server side, can you let me know tomorrow if its back to working again or not?
Sure. I’ve set a reminder for 5pm tomorrow to give you time 🙂
I turned off setting already so if u can’t access it now don’t think it worked. If u can then it worked
I’m afraid it hasn’t worked 🙁
Fuck I don’t know what to do 😔
Have you tried adding CloudFlare?
This is a ferry, it transfers cars and passengers, very common in Europe. What you have to find out as a blogger, is where it goes, fees and schedules.
Why is it sailing under the st. Vincent flag 🇻🇨
On board of ferry…
