Presentation in Tanger: Baleària to Launch Two Electric Fast Ferries on Tarifa–Tangier Route

June 27, 2025

This week, Baleària presented at Tanger City Port the project for the first green corridor between Spain and the Kingdom of Morocco, which will be operated by two 100% electric, zero-emission fast ferries, built in Spain and which will be operational from 2027.

Ships will be built in Spain by Armon, each powered by 16 MW electric propulsion (4× propellers, 11,500 kWh batteries), enabling the 18‑mile crossing emission‑free.

Associated ports in Tarifa and Tánger will be electrified with OPS charging systems (~5–8 MW), recharging vessels in about 40 minutes.
