Port Said Shipyard
Port Said Shipyard is associated with the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), the Egyptian public authority that manages, operates, maintains and improves the Suez Canal and also manages the Port of Port Said as an integrated part of the canal. The website content available is almost entirely about the Suez Canal Authority itself rather than the shipyard: it lists "Shipyard Services" among the SCA's e-services and names a Director of the Shipyards Department on the SCA board, but gives no detail on docks, workshops, vessel sizes or repair capabilities. On this evidence the yard appears to sit within the SCA's shipyards organisation on the Mediterranean end of the canal at Port Said, but its specific facilities and services cannot be confirmed from the pages provided.
Port Said Shipyard
Port Said Shipyard appears within the organisational structure of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), the independent Egyptian public authority established on 26 July 1956 to manage, operate, maintain and improve the Suez Canal. The SCA also manages the Port of Port Said as an integrated part of the canal and supervises all of its maritime activities. The published material reviewed here covers the SCA and the canal in detail but contains very little about the shipyard itself, so the descriptions below are limited to what the pages actually state.

Note on available information
The source pages are focused on canal history, treaties, characteristics, tolls and the SCA's mandate. They do not describe the shipyard's docks, berths, cranes, workshops, vessel size limits, certifications or customer base, and no such details should be assumed.
