Brodosplit is the largest shipyard in Croatia, located in the Supaval bay, on the north side of the Split peninsula.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Brodosplit became a joint stock company, with the Government of Croatia as the majority holder.
In 2013, it was privatised and acquired by the Croatian manufacturing company DIV, pending a major restructuring and optimization.
80% of the ships built are exported to foreign contractors from numerous countries, like England, France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Russia, India, Liberia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and the USA.
The BSO - Brodogradilište specijalnih objekata special division is responsible for the construction of numerous advanced vessels.
A luxury vessel was designed by Polish naval architect Zygmunt Choreń, and initially acquired by Star Clippers Ltd. of Sweden.
