The Royal New Zealand Navy ship HMNZS Canterbury has left
for Raoul Island with MetService and GNS Science staff
aboard to carry out essential tasks, including maintenance
of critical weather and tsunami warning
systems.
Maritime Component Commander Commodore Mat
Williams said the re-supply mission, which left on Monday,
was delayed a week and scaled back after Auckland went into
COVID-19 alert level three.
The mission was now going
ahead over the next week to carry out critical re-supply and
maintenance tasks, he said.
“Friday’s earthquakes
and tsunami warnings were a reminder of how important these
early warning systems are.
