What Anadolu Shipyard does

Anadolu Shipyard is a Turkish private naval shipbuilder headquartered in Tuzla, Istanbul, operating one of Turkey's leading shipyard facilities for the design, construction, and integration of naval platforms. The company's product portfolio spans delivered naval vessels (Landing Ship Tanks, Cadet Training Ships, Landing Craft Tanks, Landing Craft Mechanised, Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel), ongoing major programs (the MİLGEM "I" Class Frigate and additional LCT construction), and an indigenous design catalog of 11 specialized vessel types including offshore patrol vessels, guided missile fast patrol boats, helicopter-dock landing ships, troop carriers, ambulance boats, and diver support craft.

The business model is project-based defense procurement: Anadolu Shipyard engages directly with government defense ministries and naval forces on negotiated, multi-year contracts with milestone-based payments tied to design, construction, launch, and delivery phases. Pricing is not publicly disclosed due to national security sensitivity. The primary customer base is the Turkish Naval Forces (anchor buyer for the MİLGEM frigate program and landing ships) and the Turkish Coast Guard (signed a major vessel procurement agreement in July 2025). The shipyard operates an enterprise field sales motion supplemented by event-driven visibility at major defense exhibitions including DIMDEX, IDEF, and ITU Ship Engineering Days, and maintains strategic technical collaboration with HAVELSAN for combat management systems and a close working relationship with the Turkish Defence Industries Agency (SSB) for program stewardship. Ownership structure is undisclosed on the public site beyond a reference to an unidentified "associated company" relationship, and revenue figures are not published.
