When Ryan Rendall ’12 started a new job as a naval architect and marine engineer with The Shearer Group in 2017, he was excited to join the team designing a new ferry for the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDoT). The marine engineering technology graduate was a key player in the project, responsible for its design and oversight of construction. On November 12, the ferry, which The Shearer Group delivered to TxDOT earlier this spring, was recently named one of WorkBoat Magazine’s 10 Significant Boats of 2024.
