"Brodosplit" Shipyard Company was founded in 1922 by merging of few minor shipyards in the area of City of Split.

It was on the current location since 1932, although the tradition of ship building in that area is much older. Very significant development and building of larger ships has been recorded in 19th century.

"Brodosplit" today is a joint stock company that is owned by the Government of Croatia and has more than 4000 employees.

The "Brodosplit" shipyard has one thousand years long tradition in shipbuilding at the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea.

The rapid growth at this location starts after 1931 and it grows into our greatest shipyard. It is a place where the largest tanker ever, made in one part, 280 meter big and with the deadweigh of 166,000 tons, was launched. The future of the Split shipbuilding is based on the age-long tradition and competence of our shipbuilders in building sophisticated ships for various purposes; passenger ships, container ships, bulk carriers, battleships.
