FerriMaroc was a Moroccan ferry company who started services between Nador Port in Morocco to the Port of Almeria in Spain. Since 2010 the company is part of Spanish operator Acciona Trasmediterránea[1].
History
In 1994 the company was the launch-operator as ferry operator on the route to/from the Port of Nador in Beni Ansar near Nador in Morocco. Until that date one could only sail to the port of Melilla, which is in the same basin as the port of Nador.
Fleet
Since the acquisition of FerriMaroc by Acciona the company has no real 'own fleet', but over the years a range of ships have sailed for the company: sometimes painted in FerriMaroc livery, sometimes in either neutral colors or using the livery of the operator from who a ship was leased.
The former MS Wisteria (former:Prinses Beatrix) (which shouldn't be mixed up with the ship with the same name from 1975) is sailing on the Nador-Almeria route until 15 September, 2013 under the name M/G Vronskiy[2]. In the past this ship has been sailing on this route during the summer-season on loan from Transeuropa Ferries, while it would be sailing on the Oostend-Ramsgate route the rest of the year. Between 2008 and 2012 it was (officially) being operated by FerriMaroc, but in 2013 it sails for Acciona on both the Algericas - Tanger route as well as the Nador-Almeria route as M/F Vronskiy.
