The Uljanik Shipyard is a Croatian shipbuilding company and is located in the Istrian city of Pula , Croatia . The name Uljanik has its origin in the earlier olive industry on the shipyard island (Croatian maslinovo ulje - olive oil ). The shipyard produces around six ships a year .

Company history

The shipyard was founded in 1856 by the Austrian Navy as kk Seearsenal Pola . The foundation stone for the building was laid by the Austrian Empress Elisabeth . The first ship, the SMS Kaiser, was launched in October 1860 . A total of 55 ships were built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy . The naval arsenal was also used for the maintenance and repair of the ships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

After the First World War , the shipyard was operated under Italian rule to repair old ships. It also served as a docking station and was used to cut old ships. During the Second World War , the Uljanik shipyard was a German naval base .

From 1947 the shipyard was operated in the newly founded Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia . In 1951 a new ship was built for the first time. The construction of ship engines and electronic systems has been continuously developed. Since 1990 the Uljanik shipyard has been run as a joint stock company under Croatian law . In 1998 it went through a major technical renewal process.

From 1947 to 2000, 201 ships were launched. Converted to the end of the 20th century, a total of 6 million DWT had been produced for buyers from all over the world.

In 2018, the delivery of a new building had to be postponed to 2019. Further orders were canceled. The company was supported by the EU with 96 million euros. After the Uljanik Group had to file for bankruptcy in mid-2019, the liquidation of the holding company was decided in January 2020, whereby the shipyard locations with inventory will initially be retained.
