Andrew Arnott “Andy” McArthur (March 26, 1935 – February 26, 2024)[1] was a Scottish-born Canadian shipbuilding executive.
He was soon promoted to a Technical Manager; his first major project with Saint John Shipbuilding was its 1964 contract with the Royal Canadian Navy to build two Protecteur-class auxiliary oiler replenishment ships.
During this time, McArthur also chaired a federal consultative task force on the Canadian shipbuilding and repair industry in 1978.
McArthur also oversaw Saint John Shipbuilding's construction of the second MV Abegweit between 1980 and 1982 for CN Marine.
In 1992, HDIL successfully bid for the construction for 12 Kingston-class coastal defence vessels for the Navy, at a cost of $650 million and completed between 1994 and 1998.
