Kraljevica Shipyard

Kraljevica Shipyard is a shipbuilder at Kraljevica, on the Adriatic coast of Croatia.[1] The shipyard was founded in 1729[2] and is claimed to be the oldest continuously operational shipyard in the world.[3]

The government of Croatia has repeatedly attempted to privatise the shipyard, most recently in November 2010.[4][5]

Vessels

The shipyard has produced a variety of commercial ships, military vessels, and superyachts.[6] In 2009, Kraljevica Shipyard constructed the JoyMe, a 49.9 metre yacht.[7] In 2010, the shipyard agreed to build two large trawlers for Russian clients.[8]
