Vessel Description

FLOR DO PICO is a small Portuguese inter-island passenger and cargo ferry operating under the flag of Portugal within the Azores Autonomous Region. Built in 1988, the vessel has been part of the Atlânticoline fleet providing essential maritime transport links between the islands of the Azores archipelago. The vessel serves local communities by transporting passengers and cargo across the relatively short but often challenging Atlantic inter-island routes, where sea conditions in the North Atlantic can be demanding. As a vessel registered in the Azores, she operates under the maritime authority of the Instituto Portuário e dos Transportes Marítimos (IPTM) and is subject to Portuguese and European maritime regulations.
