The Sevastopol Shipyard (Russian: Севморверф; Sevmorverf) (lit. Sevastopol Sea Wharf) is a branch of the Sevastopol Marine Plant (Russian: Севморзавод; Sevmorzavod) joint stock company (JSC). The shipyard is located in Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine and is engaged in the repair, modernization and re-equipment of Russian and Ukrainian Naval ships and submarines.[1]

Imperial Russian cruiser Pamyat' Merkuriya (until Apr. 1882 - Yaroslavl', after 1907 - blockship No.9).
The Sevastopol Marine Plant was founded in 1783 and occupies three production sectors alongside the Sevastopol Bay.[2] The Sevastopol Shipyard Lazarevskoe Admiralteystvo Ltd. company was named after admiral Lazarev who was assigned as the general commander of the Black Sea Ports and fleet in 1834.[2] He was a major contributor to the development of the Black Sea fleet and to the building and development of Sevastopol itself.[2]
