It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the
passing of Andrew Kendrick. Andrew was not only a dear
friend to many of us but also a mentor and trailblazer
whose passion for icebreaker design and whose strong
leadership left an indelible mark across our industry. As
we mourn his loss, we also celebrate his remarkable
contributions to the marine technical community in the field
of naval architecture and ship design.
Andrew was actively engaged in academia, both in
applied research, and in mentoring students in the naval
architecture program at Memorial University (MUN). In
his memory, MUN, in conjunction with Vard Marine and,
supported by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers, have established the Andrew Kendrick Memorial
Endowment Fund. This will provide an annual scholarship
to an undergraduate student in the Ocean and Naval
Architectural Engineering program at MUN.
Other companies and individuals can also contribute to
the endowment fund – as the fund grows it will enable the
award of higher value scholarships and eventually multiple
awards, continuing Andrew's legacy in academia and naval
architecture.
