Vostochnaya Verf

Vostochnaya Verf is a Vladivostok shipyard on Maly Uliss Bay that builds naval craft, auxiliary vessels, and specialized civil ships for Russia's Far East. The yard traces its origin to the Vladivostok Shipbuilding Plant established in 1952 and later became AO Vostochnaya Verf in 1994.

The shipyard's own history places the enterprise inside Vladivostok on the shore of Maly Uliss Bay, with year-round access from its quay, rail and road connections, two building halls, and a full-cycle shipbuilding workshop base. Its published capability statement says it can build ships up to 120 m long, 16 m wide, and 25 m high, with launch weight up to 2,500 tonnes and displacement up to 3,500 tonnes.

Vostochnaya Verf has a mixed naval, border-service, fisheries, and auxiliary-vessel history. A 2025 company anniversary notice says the yard has built more than 500 ships, boats, and vessels for the Pacific Fleet, maritime border forces, and Far Eastern fishing organizations, with export construction experience for seven countries. Its current public site emphasizes fishing, transport, and auxiliary vessels up to 4,500 tonnes while retaining a defense-industrial lineage tied to small combatants and landing craft.
