Building Vessels.
Class Shipyard is Egypt's multi-class approved shipbuilder — based in Rosetta (Rashid), where the Nile meets the Mediterranean. We deliver precision-engineered vessels for commercial cargo, river-sea trade, and offshore energy operations.
Three Active Classes
View All Classes →
Nile Class
3 vesselsThe Nile Class is Class Shipyard's flagship general cargo programme — a versatile, single-deck cargo vessel optimised for regional Mediterranean and Red Sea trade routes. Robust steel construction, efficient hold configuration, and low-maintenance machinery make the Nile Class the workhorse of Egyptian commercial operators.
Delta Class
3 vesselsDesigned specifically for the Nile Delta and coastal trade, the Delta Class bridges inland waterway and open-sea operations. Built at Rosetta — where the Nile meets the Mediterranean — these vessels are conceived in the same waters they serve. Shallow draft, reinforced hull framing, and a compact machinery arrangement allow navigation through the Delta network while remaining fully seaworthy in coastal conditions.
Suez Class
2 vesselsThe Suez Class is a purpose-built offshore support and supply vessel serving Egypt's growing offshore energy sector in the Gulf of Suez and the Eastern Mediterranean. Equipped with a large clear aft deck, dynamic positioning capability, and a firefighting system, the Suez Class meets the demands of platform supply, crew transfer, and emergency response.

Class Shipyard Founded
Class Shipyard is established at Rosetta (Rashid) — the historic Nile Delta city where the great river meets the Mediterranean Sea. Founded by a team of Egyptian naval architects and marine engineers, the yard is positioned deliberately at the confluence of river and open sea, making it the natural home for a shipbuilder serving both Nile inland operations and Mediterranean and Red Sea trade routes.
Yard Commissioned & First Contracts Signed
The Rosetta facility is fully commissioned with a covered fabrication hall, a 90-metre slipway, and a dedicated outfitting berth on the Nile Delta waterfront. The yard signs its first two construction contracts, launching the Nile Class programme in partnership with Egyptian Navigation Company.
First Vessel Delivered — Nile Pioneer
Nile Pioneer (CSY-001) is delivered to Egyptian Navigation Company — the first vessel built entirely at Class Shipyard. The delivery is witnessed by Bureau Veritas surveyors and marks the yard's formal entry into Egypt's commercial shipbuilding sector. The vessel enters service on Alexandria–Port Said cargo routes.
Multi-Class Approval Achieved
Class Shipyard receives multi-class approval from Bureau Veritas (BV) and Lloyd's Register (LR), confirming the yard's quality management systems, fabrication standards, and construction processes meet international classification requirements. This approval unlocks the yard's ability to build across vessel types for a wider client base.
Offshore Programme Launched — Suez Class
Class Shipyard signs its first offshore support vessel contract with GUPCO, launching the Suez Class programme. The contract represents a significant expansion of the yard's capability into the offshore energy sector and marks the beginning of a strategic relationship with Egypt's petroleum industry.
