Vessel Description

PATO REAL is a Portuguese river passenger ferry operated by Transtejo & Soflusa on the Tagus River crossing between Barreiro and Lisbon. Built in 2009 at the Viana do Castelo shipyard in northern Portugal, the vessel is purpose-designed for high-frequency commuter passenger services on one of Europe's most historic and heavily used urban ferry routes. As a shallow-draft vessel optimized for river navigation, she features diesel-electric propulsion suited to the maneuvering demands of a busy urban waterway. The vessel serves a critical role in the public transportation network of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, carrying commuters and visitors across the Tagus estuary.
