Azores opens 3 million euro fuel support for fisheries and aquaculture
Azores GuideFishing, aquaculture and fish-processing companies can claim back part of the higher fuel costs they carried since February. Applications close on 30 November.
The Azores Regional Government has opened applications for 3 million euros of extraordinary support for fisheries and aquaculture professionals and companies hit by higher fuel costs. The money comes from the MAR 2030 programme.
The support covers additional production costs that fishing, aquaculture and fish-processing companies carried between 28 February and 31 December 2026. The regional government links the rise in fuel, energy and transport costs to international events, particularly the situation in the Middle East.
Applications close on 30 November. They go through the Balcão dos Fundos. The MAR 2030 portal and the Regional Directorate for Fisheries have the details.
