site.btaCapabilities of Bulgarian Polar Programme Are Expanding - Commander Muevski

In an interview for BTA, Commander Radko Muevski, the Commanding Officer of the Bulgarian naval research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (RSV 421), said that the cooperation between RSV 421 and the St Kliment Ohridski Bulgarian Antarctic Base on Livingston Island is very good, with established teamwork, and clear responsibilities. The capabilities of the Bulgarian polar programme are expanding, as scientists see that they have the opportunity to reach more distant places with the ship and acquire data and collect samples more quickly.

Commenting on the 34th Bulgarian Antarctic expedition, Muevski said: "It is clear that we have greater capabilities when it comes to projects. We continue to build on this every year, and this year we have again upgraded with a new type of equipment that we are launching from the ship. This is a very important conclusion for our programme and for the work of the ship, and I hope that this trend will continue in the coming years and seasons. I can say that the season has been successful."
