Severnaya Verf (Russian: Северная верфь, lit.

The priority market for Severnaya Verf is military export to Asian countries as India, China and Vietnam.

It was situated near the main Putilov factory, and began building small warships, up to destroyers in size, in addition to non-military ships for the government like dredgers, tugboats, etc.

Badly damaged during World War II by the Germans, the shipyard was rebuilt and enlarged after the war, partially by using plundered equipment and machines from Germany, and specialized in larger surface warships up to cruiser size.

The shipyard reverted to its earlier name of Severnaya Verf on 2 August 1989.
