Sevastopol Shipyard (Ukrainian: Севморверф, translit. Sevmorverf, lit. 'Sevastopol Sea Wharf'), Russian: Севастопольский морской завод) is a shipyard located in Sevastopol, Crimea, founded as a dockyard for the Imperial Russian Navy in 1783.
The shipyard has mostly been used to repair and maintain warships throughout its history, although it has occasionally also built ships.
History
The Sevastopol Shipyard was founded in 1783 on the south side of Sevastopol Bay to maintain the ships of the Black Sea Fleet. It occasionally built frigates and smaller sailing ships between 1813 and 1851.[1] 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] The dockyard was ransferred to the Russian Steam Navigation and Trading Company in 1858 after the damage caused by the Crimean War of 1854–55 was repaired. It was nationalized on 16 August 1897.[3]
The Soviets separated it from the naval base in 1919 and named it the Sevastopol Shipyard, Engineering and Electromechanical Works (Russian: Sevastopol'skii sudostroitel'nyi, mashinostroitel'nyi i elektromekhanicheskii zavod). The dockyard was renamed the Sevastopol Naval Shipyard (Sevastopol'skii morskoi zavod) on either 13 January 1921 or January 1930. It was again renamed Shipyard No. 201 (in the name of Sergo Ordzhonikidze) on 30 December 1936 and became Shipyard in the name of Sergo Ordzhonikidze No. 201 (Zavod imeni Sergo Ordzhonikidze No. 201) on 15 May 1940.[3]
After the annexation of Crimea
Under Ukrainian law, the shipyard is part of the Sevastopol Marine Plant (Ukrainian: Севморзавод; Sevmorzavod) joint stock company (JSC). As of 2017 the shipyard is under the ownership of Zvezdochka Shipyard, a subsidiary of United Shipbuilding Corporation.[4][5] Is building two special catamarans each one from two barges to move on places railway and highway of Kerch Strait Bridge arcs, also tankers and other vessels.
Facilities and Services
The shipyard operates three dry docks, a slipway for the assembly of floating crane hulls and ships, specialized shops and production sections, large warehouses, fitting-out embankments, and every other facility to secure the ship's vital systems and units.[6]
