The shipyard previous was affiliated with the KrAZ Holding Company (Kremenchuk) and previous ownership / contracts / share % with Norwegian and foreign shipbuilding firms .

The shipyard was also known as Kamysh-Burun Zavod.

The name of the yard is in Russian and means gulf. Although it is already decades after the fall of the Soviet Union the name has not changed to the Ukrainian variant. This is perhaps due to the high number of Russian speakers in the area. With the return of Crimea to Russia, it is unlikely the name will be changed.

The joint stock company Zalyv Shipyard was founded in 1938. It is situated on the shore of the Kerch Strait, between two seas, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
