About Us
The waterfront site where the current shipyard sits has been in the Ergun family since the 1950’s. Originally the setting of their holiday home, the family took the opportunity to develop it into the Ursa Shipyard in 1983 after the area was rezoned in a government move to shift the growing commercial shipping industry out of the city centre.

In 2005, the current President, Sedat Ergun, took over the reins of the company and transformed the shipyard into the advanced technology facility it is today, dedicated to the construction and refit of the world’s finest superyachts. At the same time a new brand, Dunya Yachts, was born to compete with leading northern European shipyards in the construction of large yachts. Since modernisation, the yard has completed the build of the universally acclaimed 73m yacht Axioma and over the last 10 years established itself as the centre for refits for large yachts in Turkey with works completed to more than 25 yachts up to 72m in length.

Facilities 
The Dunya Shipyard has 18,000m² of climate-controlled sheds including the only covered, climate-controlled dry-dock in Turkey. With a 5,000-ton floating dock and 180 metres of quays for berthing, the shipyard is ideally equipped to undertake all types of refit and repair work.
