The arrival of the multinational task force and return of HMNZS CANTERBURY and HMNZS ENDEAVOUR laden with supplies heralds the arrival of much needed supplies to the isolated communities of the Kaikoura region. 

In 2016 the small township of Kaikoura and surrounding region found themselves cut off from all support following one of New Zealands strongest recorded earthquakes in recent history.

The New Zealand Defence Force, Emergency services and other agencies mobilised immediately to provide humanitarian aid and disaster relief to the people in the stricken and isolated region.
