Portaria n.º 631/2026 authorises the distribution of 905,000.00 € for consolidating the cliff at the Ribeira Brava quay, all to be paid in 2027.
The Autonomous Region of Madeira has authorised the distribution of the budgetary commitments for the "Empreitada de consolidação da escarpa sobranceira ao cais da Ribeira Brava", with a total value of 905,000.00 €, through Portaria n.º 631/2026, published in the Official Journal on 10 November 2026. In practice, the entire expenditure is planned for 2027, with no commitments recorded for 2026.
The portaria was signed on 4 November 2026 by the Regional Secretary for the Economy, José Manuel de Sousa Rodrigues, and the Regional Secretary for Finance, Duarte Nuno Nunes de Freitas. It does not approve the works themselves nor choose the company that will carry them out: what it does is set how the money is spread across financial years, that is, across budget years. The total value of 905,000.00 € (nine hundred and five thousand euros) is subject to VAT at the legal rate in force, if legally due.
The cliff referred to in the name of the project is the rocky slope or embankment above the Ribeira Brava quay, and consolidation consists of reinforcing that slope to make it safer. The portaria does not describe the specific technical interventions.
The commitment will be recorded, that is, reserved in the appropriation, in the separate budget of APRAM - Administração dos Portos da Região Autónoma da Madeira, S.A., the company that manages the regional ports, in financial year 2027. The codes indicated are organic classification 458010100, functional classification 450, economic classification D.07.03.03.A0.00, programme 052, measure 026 and funding sources 392 and 513.
A portaria is an instrument of the Regional Government that regulates or implements rules set out in other legal instruments. This portaria complies with paragraph 1 of article 34 of Decreto Legislativo Regional n.º 8/2025/M, of 30 December, which approved the RAM budget for 2026, and paragraph 1 of article 22 of Decreto-Lei n.º 197/99, of 8 June, applicable by virtue of later provisions that restored its force.
The text does not identify the company that will carry out the project, nor the execution period or the start date of the works. It refers only to the expenditure arising from a contract "a celebrar" (to be signed), meaning the contract does not yet exist. The portaria enters into force on the day after its publication, that is, on 11 November 2026.
