Yantar Shipyard builds military ships, including antisubmarine and patrol crafts, as well as civil vessels such as fishing trawlers and seiners.[2] It is part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation.[3] Before 1945, it was the Königsberg unit of the German Schichau-Werke shipbuilding company.[4]

The shipyard's facilities allow it to construct vessels of up to 20,000 tonnes DWT. Between 1945 and 2010 it has built more than 100 large and 400 small civilian ships.[5]

In the early 2010s the shipyard started a series of Project 11356 for the Indian Navy.[5] The lead frigate under the name 'Admiral Grigorovich' was laid down in mid-December 2010 and was expected to be ready in November 2014. Total of six ships (including the Admiral Essen, the Admiral Makarov, the Admiral Butakov, the Admiral Istomin and the Admiral Kornikov) were to join the Black Sea Fleet by 2017.[6]
