Shipbuilders’ Day is observed in Russia every June 29, celebrating the contributions of the shipbuilding industry. This professional holiday was established in 2017 through the initiative of the United Shipbuilding Corporation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. The date commemorates the 1667 decree by Tsar Alexis I, which initiated a naval shipbuilding program and led to the construction of the first Russian-built warship, the Oryol. The event recognizes the importance of shipbuilding, a significant industry in Russia, which includes approximately 1,000 companies engaged in shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance. Employees in this sector celebrate their achievements and contributions to the industry on this day.
