THE JOHN PERCIVAL LEADERSHIP AWARD HONOURS OUTSTANDING MARITIME LEADERSHIP AND TRAINING COMMITMENT

Captain John Percival’s Legacy:
An advocate for onboard training and crew development, John established JPMA as a crew training centre in the late ’90s, dedicated to fostering high standards across all crew levels and departments. His passion was inspiring students to return to their vessel emboldened and ready to nurture junior crew.
In remembrance of his vision, the John Percival Leadership Award was established, in 2014, to recognise and reward individuals across all levels of crew, who embody his ideals of crew development, mentorship and dedication.
