Vostochnaya Shipyard

Vostochnaya Shipyard is an English rendering of AO Vostochnaya Verf, the Vladivostok shipyard on Maly Uliss Bay that traces its origin to the Vladivostok Shipbuilding Plant founded in 1952. Public ship lists and government records connect the yard to small naval craft, landing craft, auxiliary vessels, and civil shipbuilding work for Russia's Far East.

The shipyard's official history says the enterprise was created in 1952 as the Vladivostok Shipbuilding Plant on the basis of ship-repair workshops, then corporatized in 1994 as AO Vostochnaya Verf. Its Vladivostok site has year-round access from Maly Uliss Bay, rail and road connections, two building halls, and a full-cycle shipbuilding workshop base for vessels up to 120 m long and up to 3,500 tonnes displacement.

Vostochnaya Shipyard appears in the catalog where English-language sources translate or transliterate the Russian yard name differently from the more common Vostochnaya Verf form. The same industrial site is tied to Soviet and Russian landing craft production, including Project 1176 Ondatra/Akula craft and later air-cavity landing craft such as Project 11770 Serna and Project 21820 Dyugon. Current official material emphasizes fishing, transport, and auxiliary vessels, while sanctions and naval-reference sources preserve the yard's defense-industrial context.

Public sources use Vostochnaya Shipyard as an English rendering of AO Vostochnaya Verf. The fuller transliterated aliases are already owned by the separate Vostochnaya Verf manufacturer record, so this record intentionally keeps aliases empty.
