History

The shipyard was founded in 1926. Initially, it was a profit-making institution which continued after the independence of Bangladesh. But it experienced a period of loss starting from the 1990s. As a result, it was laid off in 2002. On 7 December 2006, the yard was handed over to the Bangladesh Navy. From then, it is regaining its standard. From 1972 to 1977, this shipyard built the Pabna Class riverine patrol boats, which are the first Bangladesh-made warships.
