Yes, RODINA is Motherland also in Bulgarian.

Not an expert at all on the privatisation changes but found: "In July 2008 the Bulgarian State Privatization Agency approved the sale of 70% of Navigation Maritime Bulgare to the Bulgarian-German Consortium 'KG Maritime Shipping'."
See also http://www.navbul.com/en/company/history/index.php

They are currently listed as controlling over 30 bulkers (mostly under Maltese flag) as well as a roro and a couple of tugs. They include a new RODINA

Emmanuel,, this ship is Bulgarian and also, I don't know Russian language ... just a little-little-little bit !
However, I guess you are on the right path ... about RODINA and "motherland"
We in the Croatian language have a comparable similarity: the verb RODITI means "to be born"
Kind regards (J)

Hi Jad, if I am not mistaken, is the name RODINA is Russian for "motherland"?

Hi davidships,, from the distance of 15 years (and my "oldie" age now) I don't well recall anymore, the details of Navibulgar re-organization,, when exactly have they started the re-organization (change of complete Board of Management & Technical staff), what was happening afterwards, and what is today being in force with this esteemed Bulgarian shipping company (at least it was once, a very-very esteemed Company on the global shipping market).

davidships,
If you have any concrete knowledge & info on Navibulgar,, about them, before 15-20 years and now,, I would be much obliged to learn from your possible revert/comment !
Respectfully submitted,
Jadran

You're welcome Edson !

Ships of Navibulgar, Varna were regular visitors, till the end of 1990s, at shipyard Viktor Lenac, Rijeka for D/D & repairs of numerous vessels from their fleet.
Repairs of the Navibulgar vessels at VLS were all in a significant, extensive scope of works, and duration of a vessel's refit, usually it was an upgrade & certain modification, lasted for 6-12 months.
Suddenly, at beginning of 2000, Navibulgar stopped attending at VLS; Navibulgar was under re-organization and the fleet was separated to various small private owned Bulgarian shipping companies (them each of fleet 1-2 vessels).

I'm much glad that this photo had awoke you good memories, of the good past time, Edson :-)))
Best regards to you and Rio from Rijeka,
Jadran
