agree  Edgar Potter: I'm late for this discussion, but FWIW: The port captain of Funchal is a military command (Naval Officer) in charge of the Maritime Police and is distinct from the Civil Port Authority APRAM, the "Administração do Porto"

  -> Obrigada, Ralf :) Sim, eu reparei que não há grandes referências a Captaincy of the Port e a Port Captaincy. Fiquei curiosa com a sugestão da Mariana, porque nunca tinha ouvido. Refere-se só ao capitão do porto, não aos serviços.
