Eastern Shipyard

Eastern Shipyard is the English legal name used in U.S. export-control and sanctions records for the Vladivostok shipyard better known in Russian as AO Vostochnaya Verf. The yard traces its origin to the Vladivostok Shipbuilding Plant founded in 1952 on Maly Uliss Bay and has built small naval combatants, patrol craft, landing craft, auxiliary vessels, and civil ships for Russian Far Eastern customers.

The shipyard's own history says it was created in 1952 as the Vladivostok Shipbuilding Plant on the basis of ship-repair workshops, then reorganized in 1994 as AO Vostochnaya Verf. Its Vladivostok site is described as a full-cycle shipbuilding facility with two building halls, rail and road access, year-round quay access from Maly Uliss Bay, and capacity for ships up to 120 m long with launch weight up to 2,500 tonnes.

Eastern Shipyard appears in defense and sanctions sources because the Vladivostok yard has a long record of military and border-service production. Russian naval references connect the yard to Project 1124 Albatros / Grisha-family anti-submarine corvettes and Project 11770 Serna landing craft, while U.S. government records list Joint Stock Company Eastern Shipyard at 1 Geroyev Tikhookeantsev Street, Vladivostok, under Russia-related export-control and sanctions programs.
