Press release - supply to Flores and Corvo
The Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructures informs that, due to bad weather conditions, namely the rough sea conditions that have been prevailing in recent days, the vessels Thor and Margarethe are limited in their operations and unable to dock in the Flores and Corvo ports. This situation is affecting the normal supply of both islands. The Regional Government is constantly monitoring the situation and is making every effort to resume supply to both islands as soon as possible, given the potential windows of opportunity for improved weather conditions in the coming days. At this point, it should be noted that: - The fuel supply vessel São Jorge is already on the island of Faial and will try to dock in Flores and Corvo next Wednesday if the weather forecast and the improvement of sea conditions state are confirmed; - The vessel Margarethe is heavily conditioned by the forecast weather conditions. There is a potential improvement on Wednesday but the swell forecast for the Flores route is not good. The situation is being monitored daily and, as soon as possible, the vessel Margarethe will continue to Flores Island. - The vessel Thor B is awaiting confirmation but it is expected to operate on Wednesday morning in Flores and the afternoon in Corvo. Despite not being responsible for the situation, the Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructures emphasised that it is constantly monitoring the weather situation. It will do everything within its reach to guarantee regular supplies to the islands of Flores and Corvo, extending its full solidarity with the respective populations.

Artur Lima presided over laying of foundation stone for TERINOV expansion project
The Vice-President of the Regional Government, Artur Lima, presided over the signing of the contract and laying of the foundation stone for the works contract to expand the Terceira Island Science and Technology Park - TERINOV. The project, which involves the construction of a new building, arises from the need to expand the space available for companies to set up in the Park, leading to the creation of eight new business areas and respective support. "Today, we are providing TERINOV with a better-equipped infrastructure to face growing demand," stated Artur Lima. "This new investment is part of a broad and forward-looking strategy we want to continue implementing in this area, as has already been demonstrated with the opening of a tender for the concession of fifteen new spaces at NONAGON, São Miguel Island," he stated. "This work is not just an investment in a building. It is, first and foremost, an investment in people. It is an investment in our ability to attract qualified talent in the Azores and provide opportunities for our entrepreneurs," emphasised the Vice-President of the Government. The work to expand TERINOV is part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and was awarded to TREPA, LDA. for €1,852,000 (plus VAT), with a completion period of 365 days. TERINOV is one of two science and technology parks in the Region and was opened in July 2020. It currently has more than 70 companies installed and nearly 300 jobs. He also emphasised that "collaboration between the Regional Government, companies and universities is essential for creating an innovative ecosystem that will allow the Azores to establish themselves as an attractive destination for science and technology."
