Madalena do Pico in the Portuguese region of the Azores. Mestre Simão, which was commissioned by Altlanticoline in 2013 to provide maritime
transport for people and vehicles, was equipped with two SURVITECZODIAC MES MIS (Marine Evacuation System with Medium Inflatable Slide) and
two SURVITECZODIAC MES SIS (Marine Evacuation System with Medium Inflatable Slide).
