A shipyard,also called a dockyard or boatyard,is a place where ships are built and repaired. These can be yachts,military vessels,cruise liners or other cargo or passenger ships. Compared to shipyards,which are sometimes more involved with original construction,dockyards are sometimes more linked with maintenance and basing activities. The terms are routinely used interchangeably,in part because the evolution of dockyards and shipyards has often caused them to change or merge roles.
