Shipyards and dockyards are places which repair and build ships.
These can be yachts, 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 intechangeably, in part because the evolution of dockyards and shipyards has often caused them to change or merge roles.
Most ship builders in Turkey are privately owned, the most famous being in Bodrum and Fethiye.
The publicly owned shipyards in Turkey providing basing, support and repair.
