One of Turkey’s leading shipbuilding companies will soon begin producing warships in Kazakhstan, according to a report posted on Dearsan Shipyard’s website. An agreement has already been signed between the two countries to establish a shipyard at a Kazakh port.
Dearsan Shipyard is known for building small warships, submarines, frigates and patrol vessels with integrated weapons systems. It is owned by Aziz Yildirim, former president of the Fenerbahçe sports club. In 2023, the shipyard delivered two patrol ships to the Nigerian Navy. Dearsan is also building ships for Turkmenistan.
The company currently produces almost all of its ships in Tuzla, Turkey.
