History

This company began operations in 1984 and was known as the Royal Malaysia Navy Dockyard. The company was later incorporated in 1991 and privatized in 1995 as PSC-Naval Dockyard. In 2005, the management and financial crisis led to it being taken over by Boustead Holdings, which renamed it the Boustead Naval Shipyard. BNS was then placed under Boustead Holdings subsidiary Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation. In 2024, BNS was fully taken over by the Government through the Ministry of Finance's company Ocean Sunshine Sdn Bhd and rebranded as Lumut Naval Shipyard. Within the same year, LUNAS assumed control of Boustead Langkawi Shipyard from BHIC and renamed it LUNAS Langkawi.
