Dalian Shipyard is the long-running naval and commercial shipbuilding yard in Dalian, Liaoning, that open defense sources use for People's Liberation Army Navy surface combatants and carrier work. The historic yard lineage is now associated with Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. under China State Shipbuilding Corporation, while older and system-level sources still often cite the Dalian Shipyard name directly.
3 weaponsThe Dalian yard traces its shipbuilding history to 1898 and remains one of China's major northern shipbuilding centers. Lloyd's Register identifies the modern DSIC complex as a CSSC Group member with more than 120 years of history, five shipbuilding yards in Dalian, subsidiary yards in Huludao, Shanhaiguan, and Tianjin, the Dalian Ship Research and Design Institute, and a broad commercial portfolio covering tankers, container ships, bulk carriers, LNG carriers, offshore units, and other large vessels.
Dalian's naval work spans older destroyers, landing ships, modern destroyer batch production, and carrier programs. GlobalSecurity identifies the Type 051C Luzhou-class air-defense destroyer as built by Dalian Shipyard, Naval News identifies Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company as one of the yards still building Type 052D/Luyang III destroyers, and USNI's republication of a Chinese Ministry of National Defense release places the 2017 launch of China's first domestically built aircraft carrier at Dalian Shipyard.
