FRS Iberia/Maroc are 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 operate mainly in the Strait of Gibraltar with a fleet of eight ferries.[2]
FRS Iberia/Maroc operates 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.

In September 2023, FRS World announced that FRS Iberia/Maroc is acquired by DFDS company. FRS Iberia/Maroc was officially a part of DFDS.
