Kevin Mooney will take over as Irving Shipbuilding President, replacing Kevin McCoy.
The new president is set to take the reigns in April when McCoy plans to leave the company and return home to his family in Maine.
Kevin Mooney joined Irving Shipbuilding this past August as Chief Operating Officer.
Before working at Irving Shipbuilding Mooney worked at General Dynamics NASSCO Shipyard in San Diego, California where he held senior positions in Operations, Programs, and Supply Chain Management. Prior to working for NASSCO, he served in the U.S. Navy, finishing his Navy career as the Commanding Officer of a nuclear submarine.

It s been a massive shipbuilding project that has kept the Irving Shipyard in Halifax very busy for the last five years.
Over the next two days the centre and stern mega-blocks of the future HMCS Max Bernays, Canada s third Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship (AOPS) for the Royal Canadian Navy, will be transported outside of the assembly hall. It was good to be able to pull off a significant amount of work and to pull it all off in the middle of a pandemic with everyone working together, said Irving Shipbuilding president Kevin McCoy. This third ship really represents a transition for us.
