Commanding Officer Nikolay Danailov expressed satisfaction with both the crew's condition and the ship's state, noting minor repairs needed. Despite facing extended challenges due to a longer expedition duration, the crew accomplished their primary objective of delivering supplies to the Bulgarian base on Livingston Island below the 55th parallel.
Encountering turbulent weather conditions throughout the voyage, including storms in the Drake Passage and the Mediterranean, the crew navigated skillfully, turning adversity into invaluable training opportunities for 24 cadets on board.
Looking ahead, Danailov affirmed readiness for future expeditions, contingent upon leadership trust. The crew's exemplary performance received praise from Naval Academy Rector Prof. Boyan Mednikarov, who emphasized Bulgaria's scientific research capabilities in Antarctica.
Aside from fulfilling assigned tasks, RSV 421 extended support to a Spanish geographic expedition, showcasing Bulgaria's commitment to international scientific cooperation in polar regions.
