At the international level we provide services in Morocco, Algeria and the Caribbean (between the United States and the Bahamas).
We are global pioneers in the use of natural gas: in 2019 Baleària was the first shipping line to use this clean source of energy on the Mediterranean and in the Canaries. We will have a gas-powered fleet numbering 9 by 2021, including newly built ships and engine replacements, an investment of 380 million euros.
