Captain Andrew C. McNeill
Captain Andrew McNeill is highly regarded for his extensive knowledge and expertise in Arctic exploration, and for his support of scientific research in the North. Captain McNeill commanded many different vessels at sea during his 37-year career with the Canadian Coast Guard. Ultimately, he was assigned to the heavy icebreaker CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, the largest icebreaker in the nation’s fleet, eventually becoming the vessel’s longest serving captain. In his retirement, Captain McNeill has maintained an active connection with the Arctic, teaching an ice navigation course at the Marine Institute in St. John's, and contributing to the working group developing Ice Navigation training under the IMO Polar Code.
