The New Zealand Navy's replenishment tanker HMNZS Endeavour has just finished providing approximately 70,000 litres of diesel fuel to the Cook Islands in response to the South Pacific country's request for assistance.
Commander Keith Robb, Endeavour's Commanding Officer, said the fuel supplies will keep power generators humming at Nassau, Pukapuka and Penrhyn Islands in the Northern Cook Islands.
