The ship carries 4,000 tonnes of different cargoes that will be delivered with assistance of a Ka-32 helicopter to an unequipped coast. The first base, where the Vasily Golovnin will call at, will be Orcadas. This is already the ship’s fifth voyage to the Antarctic coast.

The ship is expected to end its polar mission in the middle or the end of May.
