The name Brodosplit is well-known in Indian shipbuilding circles because, during the seventies, the Split shipyard delivered 8 ships to Indian clients.

We want to support and envision Brodosplit as a partner, i.e. as one of the shipyards that certainly meets all the necessary criteria, said Mr. Raj Kumar Srivastava, announcing the new possible cooperation with Brodosplit. One such possibility is the program of reconstruction of the Indian fleet and Brodosplit is ready to participate in this large project – the Indian ambassador emphasized during his visit to the Split shipyard.
