Chevron Skipper of the Year announced by Coastguard
Coastguard North Shore Volunteer and Skipper Mark Harnett has been named the Chevron Skipper of the Year.
It was fitting that December 5, International Volunteers Day, coincided with the announcement of Coastguard New
Zealand ’s big award the Chevron Skipper of the year.
The Chevron New Zealand-sponsored award is presented to the individual who, in the opinion of a selection panel, is the most deserving of recognition for their personal achievement, commitment to their community, contribution to Coastguard Marine Safety and contribution to their unit.
Mark was selected after interviews with the four short-listed candidates. He joined Coastguard in 2001 and has been a Skipper since 2004. Mark is well respected by the unit and has lead his crews through many major incidents, including a plane crash, heart attack and drowning. In all these incidents he demonstrated his leadership qualities, managing the incidents but also the crew and public emotions around the more traumatic events.
Well done Mark
