FRS Iberia/Maroc were three independent companies operating under a single brand, one based in Morocco (FRS Maroc) and the two others (FRS Iberia and Ferrysur) in Spain, founded in 2000 by their parent company Förde Reederei Seetouristik.[1] The companies operated mainly in the Strait of Gibraltar with a fleet of eight ferries.[2]
FRS Iberia/Maroc operated services across the Strait of Gibraltar from Tarifa and Algeciras to Ceuta, Tangier and Tanger-Med.[3] On 23 May 2018 it was announced that FRS Iberia will acquire the routes Melilla-Motril and Huelva-Las Palmas-S. C. Tenerife from Naviera Armas due to monopoly concerns on the acquisition of Trasmediterranea by Armas. The necessary equipment is included in the deal.[4]
In September 2023, FRS World announced that FRS Iberia/Maroc was bought by DFDS company, officially part of DFDS Seaways.
