331. Dua for mounting boat/ship

Noah (AS) took a boat ride while reading the following prayer:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَآ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Bismillahi majraha wa mursaha inna rabbee laGhafoorur-Raheem

Translation

In the name of Allah is its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.

Note that, this Dua cannot be said while mounting an animal or any means of transport. However, in our country, this dua is written in front of many vehicles and the supervisor says this dua when starting the journey, which is wrong.
