That is a cover sent from a ship - in the case of the cover below the ship was the Tanker Capulus.
The UPU regulations state that if the ship is in the high seas, then the stamps used must be of the ship’s country of registration. However, if the ship is within territorial waters, then the stamps affixed, must be from the country where the ship is at the time.
As can be seen from the cover below, the stamps affixed and the date cancel implies that the tanker was off the coast of Umm Said, Qatar.
