The Sevastopol Marine Plant was founded in 1783 and occupies three production sectors alongside the Sevastopol Bay.[2] The Sevastopol Shipyard Lazarevskoe Admiralteystvo Ltd. company was named after admiral Lazarev who was assigned as the general commander of the Black Sea Ports and fleet in 1834.[2] He was a major contributor to the development of the Black Sea fleet and to the building and development of Sevastopol itself.[2]

In 1997, the Bulgarian company Bulmar Consult Ltd. (Bulgarian: Булмар Консулт ООД) entered into an agreement with the JSC Sevastopol Marine Plant.[3] Bulmar Consult Ltd. was established in 1993 as a private ship repair company in the town of Varna, Bulgaria.[3]
