==History==
The construction works of KSY started in 1954 under supervision of the [[Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation|East Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation]] (EPIDC) with the technical support of M/s. [[Stulcken Sohn]], who provided the design for the construction of the yard facilities. After completion of works, It was commissioned on 27 November 1957, with the objective to build and repair ships of various clients, for defense, coast guard, oil company, ports and manufacture engineering parts to support other industries.

[[Burness Corlett Three Quays|Burness Corleft]]+Partner and Maienform administratively and technically managed the company up to 1967. Afterwards the control was vested with its own expert engineers both technically and administratively.

On 3 October 1999, the Bangladesh Navy took over the responsibilities of KSY along with a 993.7 million taka debt. By 2008, all outstanding debts were cleared and since then, the shipyard has been making profit.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/2005/01/30/d50130050144.htm |title=Govt bodies deny Khulna Shipyard work orders.
