She was built in 1981 by Estaleiros São Jacinto, Aveiro, Portugal.

The MADRAGOA is owned by Transportes Tejo E P (Transtejo), a publicly owned company which provides a network of local services on the River Tagus around Lisbon. On 17 December 1975 the five companies providing the ferry services were nationalized to form Transtejo.
