Stocznia Polnocna ? Northern Shipyard was established in 1945 and was first named shipyard No. 3. Until 1950 the shipyard was engaged in ship repairs when it started to specialise in fishing vessels and was named Northern Shipyard. In 1955 the co-operation with the Polish Navy started and up to the early 1990s the shipyard had been building military ships for the Navies of Poland, the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, former Yugoslavia, East Germany and Syria. During the same period the shipyard was also building highly sophisticated vessels such as superseiners and supertrawlers for owners in Great Britain and France. In 1975 the shipyard was given the name ?Bohaterow Westerplatte?. The number of employees at that time was 5000.
