public shipyard

A public shipyard is a maritime facility owned and operated by government authorities or military organizations, where ships such as naval vessels, commercial ships, and submarines are built, maintained, and repaired. These facilities provide essential infrastructure, expertise, and workforce support to ensure the readiness, safety, and functionality of vessels that serve national defense, trade, and maritime industries. Public shipyards often focus on strategic and large-scale projects that may not be immediately profitable but are vital for a country’s security and economic interests.
