Vessel Description

The Simon Balayo Sambade is a Ro-Pax (Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger) ferry purpose-built for inter-island passenger and cargo transport within the Azores archipelago. Constructed at the Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo (ENVC) shipyard in Portugal and delivered in 2004, the vessel was designed to serve the specific operational requirements of Azorean inter-island navigation, including challenging Atlantic sea conditions.

The vessel is operated by Atlânticoline, the primary inter-island maritime transport company in the Azores, and plays a vital role in connecting remote island communities. As a Ro-Pax ferry, she is equipped to carry both passengers and wheeled cargo/vehicles, providing essential logistical support to island populations.

The vessel is registered under the Portuguese flag and complies with applicable SOLAS and IMO regulations for passenger vessel safety and operations.

Note: Some technical specifications (engine power, passenger/vehicle capacity) were not independently verified at time of compilation. Users are advised to cross-reference with official registries such as Lloyd's Register, Equasis, or the Portuguese Maritime Authority (DGRM) for the most current and complete data.
