The shipyard was founded in 1856 by the St. Petersburg merchant M. Carr and the Scotsman Murdoch. L. MacPherson. It subsequently became the Carr and MacPherson yard.[2] In 1864 it built two monitors of the Uragan class.[2] In 1874 the shipyard was sold to Prince Ochtomski.[2]
Nowadays the shipyard manufactures warships, large tonnage cargo and ice-class vessels.[5] As of 2021, it employs more than 6000 people. It has built more than 600 vessels.[6]
In 2011 the shipyard came under control of JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), its vice-president Valery Venkov took the CEO post.[5]
In the mid-2010s the shipyard launched a series of Project 22220, the largest and most powerful nuclear-powered ice-breakers designed to ensure year-round navigation in the western Arctic.[7][8] In June 2016, nuclear icebreaker Arktika was launched. On September 22, 2017, Sibir was floated out.[9][10] On May 25, 2019, the 173 metre-long nuclear-powered arctic ice breaker Ural had its ceremonial launch.[11] The technical laying of the fourth vessel, named Yakutia, took place on May 26, 2020.[12]
