Shipyards are specialized facilities where ships are constructed, repaired, and maintained. They include large dry docks, cranes, and workshops designed to handle complex tasks like building large vessels such as cargo ships, cruise ships, or naval ships. Shipyards often combine engineering expertise with heavy industrial equipment to assemble ships from various components, ensuring they meet safety and performance standards. They play a crucial role in the maritime industry, supporting global trade, defense, and transportation, by providing the infrastructure necessary for the development and upkeep of maritime vessels.
