The Bulgarian military scientific research ship "St. St. Cyril and Methodius" (NIK 421) is already sailing in the Black Sea. At around 6 am on 1 May, the vessel entered the Bosphorus. The ship was escorted by a Turkish Coast Guard cutter as it crossed the 30km strait between Europe and Asia. 


NIK 421, which is the first Bulgarian ship to sail to the Antarctic, is heading towards Varna after successfully participating in the 31st National Antarctic expedition to Livingston Island.
The ship St. St. Cyril and Methodius is expected to dock at Varna's Sea Station at 10 a.m. on May 2. 

An official ceremony is planned for the welcome, which will have free entrance.
