Shinas (ferry) explained

Shinas is a catamaran ferry in service on the Shinas–Khasab[1] route in Oman, reportedly the fastest diesel ferry in the world.[2] [3] [4] The route connects Musandam Governorate, an exclave of Oman at the tip of the Musandam peninsula, to Oman proper, without crossing through United Arab Emirates like the overland route.
