The new Navbulgar vessel Stara Planina, which recently entered the St. Lawrence Seaway for the first time, bound for Oshawa, ON, will soon be followed by a sister ship, the Sredna Gora (IMO 1068906), bound for Johnstown, ON. She is expected to arrive there Nov. 17. This will be its first transit of the Seaway for the 624-foot-long vessel, which is named after a mountain range in Bulgaria. Photo credit: Navibulgar. The ship, built at Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding Co. in China, is the 14th of 15 bulk carriers ordered by Navigation Maritime Bulgare. Captain Ivan Todorov and engineer Rumen Aleksandrov are her first master and chief engineer accordingly. The last ship of this series, Stara Planina, is scheduled for delivery within 2026.
