Baleària

In August 2025, Baleària reached an agreement with Naviera Armas to take over its and Trasmediterranea's operations in the Canary Islands and the Alboran Sea, as well as some across the Strait of Gibraltar. The company would receive control of 15 ferries, several routes, and staff. This was subject to approval from the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) of Spain.

In March 2026, the CNMC approved the deal, but highlighted competition risks in the Canary Islands. Baleària was forced to both end a joint ownership agreement with Fred Olsen Express for the route between Huelva and the Canary Islands and reopen the route between Morro Jable and Las Palmas.

In May 2026, Baleària took over the operations in the Canary Islands under the Baleària Canarias brand.
