ILYICHEVSK SHIPREPAIR YARD was established in 1951 in the convenient harbour of Sukhoi Estuary (the northwestern Black Sea). It has favorable location: close to Ilyichevsk Sea port and about 20 km from Odessa. Besides, ships calling at Ilyichevsk in winter have the additional benefit of mild climatic conditions here.

These changes together with entry of Ilyichevsk Shipyard into the world market of shiprepair have mobilized a comprehensive modernization of its production facilities.
