The OJSC '''Baltic Shipyard''' (''Baltiysky Zavod'', formerly '''Shipyard 189 named after Grigoriy Ordzhonikidze''') ({{langx|ru|Балтийский завод имени [[Grigoriy Ordzhonikidze|С. Орджоникидзе]]}}) is one of the oldest [[shipyard]]s in Russia and is part of [[United Shipbuilding Corporation]] today.

It is located in [[Saint Petersburg]] in the south-western part of [[Vasilievsky Island]]. It is one of the three shipyards active in Saint Petersburg. Together with the [[Admiralty Shipyard]] it has been responsible for building many [[Imperial Russia]]n [[battleship]]s as well as Soviet [[nuclear-powered icebreaker]]s. Currently it specializes in merchant ships while the Admiralty yard specializes in diesel-electric [[submarine]]s. In addition, it is responsible for construction of [[Russian floating nuclear power station]]s.

== History == The shipyard was founded in 1856 by the St. Petersburg merchant M. Carr and the Scotsman Murdoch. L. MacPherson. It subsequently became the '''Carr and MacPherson''' yard.<ref name="Polmar"> {{cite book |last=Polmar |first=Norman |author2=Noot, Jurrien |title=Submarines of the Russian and Soviet Navies, 1718-1990 |type=Google Books |access-date=2009-07-05 |edition=illustrated |year=1991 |publisher=Naval Institute Press |isbn=0-87021-570-1 |pages=325–326 |chapter=Submarine building yards |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7cDN8q2RHGMC&q=shipyard+leningrad&pg=PP1 }}</ref> In 1864 it built two monitors of the [[Uragan-class monitor|''Uragan'' class]].<ref name="Polmar" /> In 1874 the shipyard was sold to [[Prince Ochtomski]].<ref name="Polmar" />

In 1934 the shipyard started work on the three prototypes for the [[Soviet S-class submarine|S-class submarine]], based on a German design produced by the Dutch company [[Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw]]. The Soviets renamed the shipyard Zavod 189 'im. [[Sergo Ordzhonikidze]]' on 30 December 1936.{{citation_needed|date=August 2019}}
