الملخص EN

This study aims to shed light on the situation of the zirids' fleet in the Maghrib region, by which it became clear that this fleet had known a state of weakness in most of the time.

However, it known as well a state of power in the era of Tamim Ben Mu'iz and Yahya Ben Tamim Emarat due to their interest and keen in possessing a navy, that is a powerful shield for repelling foreign campaigns and protecting the state's coasts from Western harassment.

this is not only to move towards a maritime invasion, and Ben Ziri's fleet has already been able to penetrate into some parts of Christian country where it has achieved some wins and gains.

but because of the many conflicts and internal crises that have ravaged the country, and so with exterior strikes from either the Norman or the the Hammadids aspiring to expand at the expense of the zirids, so to led to the gradual deterioration of the zirids' fleet, until the Norman was able to eliminate it, thereby the fall of Mahdia and the expiration of the era of the zirids State.
