Danish shipping company DFDS has completed the acquisition of FRS Iberia\/Maroc, strengthening its position in the fast-growing ferry market in the Strait of Gibraltar, a crucial link between Spain and Morocco. <\/strong> FRS Iberia\/Maroc, known for its prominent role in the market for the short-haul ferries in this region, reported a turnover of approx. 135 million euros in 2023.
