Feodosiya Shipbuilding Company

Feodosiya Shipbuilding Company, commonly associated with the More shipyard at Prymorskyi near Feodosia in Crimea, is a high-speed naval and specialist-vessel producer known for air-cushion landing craft, hydrofoil and fast patrol designs, and light-alloy boat construction. Its catalog relevance comes from Ukrainian and Soviet-era craft built at the yard, including the Project 12322 Zubr/Pomornik air-cushion landing craft and the Project 58130 Orlan Sea Guard patrol boat.

The More yard developed around Soviet and Ukrainian demand for fast coastal craft rather than large blue-water combatants. Public references and defense reporting associate the Feodosia facility with hydrofoils, patrol boats, air-cushion landing craft, and other small or medium naval vessels that rely on lightweight construction and high-speed hull forms.

After Russia's 2014 seizure of Crimea, the plant became a disputed Russian-controlled industrial asset while Ukraine and most states continued to regard Crimea as Ukrainian territory. Current sanction and corporate sources list the enterprise under Russian registry and control, while older Ukrainian and export records document the same Feodosia facility's role in Zubr hovercraft work for Greece and China.

Manufacturer History

  1. Shipyard established near Feodosia
