Shipyard
A shipyard (also called a dockyard) is a place where ships are built and repaired. These can be yachts, military vessels, cruise liners or other cargo or passenger ships. Dockyards are sometimes more associated with maintenance and basing activities than shipyards, which are sometimes associated more with initial construction. The terms are routinely used interchangeably, in part because the evolution of dockyards and shipyards has often caused them to change or merge roles.

The shipyard is self-sufficient having facilities for building vessels up to 5,000 DWT and up to 140 m in length. It is equipped with side launching facility, CNC plasma steel cutting and preparation machines, automatic blasting and painting machines, panel line fabrication, profile bending machine, rollers for plate straightening, etc. It is now an exclusive shipbuilding establishment. The semi-finished ships are transported from Bharati Shipyard units at Ratnagiri and Ghodbunder to Goa, where the remaining construction activities are carried out and the ships are delivered to customers thereafter. Another adjacent yard, Anderson Marine Pvt LTD, has also been acquired on lease by Bharati Shipyard.
