About Atlânticoline
Atlânticoline was founded in 1871 in the Azores, and since then has ensured regular connections between the archipelago, Madeira and the United States. In 1980 there was an interruption in passenger transport, which was resumed 20 years later. Since then it has been centered between the islands of the Central Group Triangle: Faial, Pico and São Jorge.
With a strong focus on service quality and operational excellence, Atlânticoline continued to grow over the years. The company became officially recognized as a shipping company in 2007 and as a ship management company one year later. In 2015, Atlânticoline expanded its operations after incorporating Transmaçor, taking over passenger and vehicle transport services across the Azorean archipelago. Today, the company transports hundreds of thousands of passengers and tens of thousands of vehicles every year, supported by a growing team.
