Dockyards

Dockyards are specialized facilities on the waterfront where ships are built, repaired, and maintained. They typically include large dry docks that can be flooded to allow ships to enter and then drained for work to be done on the hull. Dockyards play a crucial role in maritime industries, supporting naval, commercial, and recreational vessels. They are equipped with cranes, workshops, and storage areas for materials and equipment needed for ship construction and repair. Dockyards are essential for ensuring that vessels are safe, seaworthy, and ready for service.
