Amateur Radio DXpeditions (ARD) is pleased to announce a major milestone in the preparation of the VP0SG South Georgia 2027 DXpedition. We have successfully signed the vessel contract and first deposit is being paid, officially securing our expedition vessel: the MV MEREDIAN, operated by 60° South Expeditions.

 

Vessel Secured – Partnership with 60° South

 

The MV MEREDIAN is a robust, ice-strengthened expedition vessel capable of safely supporting land-based operations in the challenging sub-Antarctic environment. The experience of the 60° South team, combined with their long track record in the region, makes them an ideal partner for this ambitious project.

Securing the vessel represents a crucial step that moves VP0SG from planning to reality.

 

 

Progress With the Government of South Georgia

 

We are pleased to report positive progress in our ongoing dialogue with the Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands (GSGSSI).

Our early planning has been well received, and the framework of our proposed operation is considered consistent with current guidance.

While the formal permit process will open in 2026, GSGSSI has expressed a willingness to continue working with us as we refine our plans throughout the coming months.

This represents a highly encouraging step toward obtaining the final landing permit required for onshore operations in 2027.

 

Donations and Sponsorship

With the vessel secured, our fundraising phase is now fully underway.

 

We invite foundations, clubs, and individual donors who wish to support a rare activation of South Georgia to join us in making VP0SG a major DXpedition for the global amateur radio community.
