  5. Stanley Gray Fellowship

Stanley Gray was the Chief Mechanical Engineer at the Port Directorate of Basra during the 1950s & 60s. When he died in 1973, he left half his estate to be held by the Institute in trust to create the Stanley Gray Fund.

Stanley expressed the wish that the money should be awarded via a scholarship or prize to wherever the Institute saw distinction in marine engineering.

This remit has been expanded following due process to include marine science and technology. The Stanley Gray Series of prestige lectures, launched in 2002, is held to mark his generosity to, and patronage, of the Institute.
