Uliis yard is a Soviet-era shipbuilding attribution used in public naval references for the Project 1265 Yakhont, the NATO Sonya-class coastal minesweeper family. The available open sources do not identify it as a surviving standalone company; they place the production record inside the wider Soviet naval shipbuilding system, with Project 1265 work associated with Vladivostok and Avangard Shipyard in Petrozavodsk.
1 weaponsThe Uliis yard name appears in English-language references for the Sonya-class minesweeper line rather than as a current corporate brand with an official website, public annual reports, or modern product pages. For catalog purposes, the useful context is the production history behind Project 1265: wooden-hulled coastal mine-countermeasure vessels built for the Soviet Navy and allied or export users from the early 1970s through the end of the Soviet period.
RussianShips.info provides the most detailed production breakdown among the reviewed public sources. It lists Project 1265 Yakhont and Project 1265E hulls, separates baseline construction at Avangard Shipyard in Petrozavodsk and a Vladivostok shipyard line, and records hull-level dates, export recipients, decommissioning notes, and technical differences between the baseline and export configurations. GlobalMilitary and Wikipedia both preserve the Uliis yard wording while summarizing the class as a Soviet minesweeper program completed in 72 ships.
The baseline Sonya-class coastal minesweeper family is the main sourced system tied to the Uliis yard name. RussianShips.info lists Project 1265 hulls by yard and hull number, while GlobalMilitary and Wikipedia summarize the class as a Soviet mine-warfare design produced between 1971 and 1991.
Sources: Coastal minesweeper - Project 1265, Sonya-class: Mine warfare Specs & History, Sonya-class minesweeperRussianShips.info treats Project 1265E as a distinct export configuration under the wider Yakhont/Sonya program, listing Avangard Shipyard hulls and export-related equipment differences. It remains linked to the existing Project 1265 catalog record because the published weapon entry already covers the 1265E variant.

GlobalMilitary and Wikipedia summarize the Sonya-class production run as 1971 to 1991, while RussianShips.info lists late Project 1265 and Project 1265E hull records reaching the same period.

No official public website or current corporate successor for Uliis yard was identified in the reviewed open sources. The website field therefore points to the RussianShips.info Project 1265 reference page, and headquarters data is omitted because the sources support production locations but not a reliable standalone headquarters for Uliis yard.
