The Cook Islands Government is proud to announce the arrival of two new inter-island vessels, which will play an important role in strengthening our connection with the Pa Enua. These vessels will help us stay connected across our islands, ensuring communities remain linked, supported, and included in our shared future. To celebrate this milestone, we are inviting name suggestions from our Tamariki across the country. For now, the vessels are referred to as “Vessel 1” and “Vessel 2”, but with your help they will soon carry names that reflect who we are and what we value as a nation.
The theme for this naming competition is Akamatutu I To Tatou Pirianga, which speaks to the importance of nurturing and strengthening our relationships. We are looking for names that reflect the spirit of culture, connection, future growth, and prosperity. Whether it’s a traditional name, a creative idea, or something that tells a story about our islands, and this is your chance to leave a mark on something that will serve our people for years to come. The competition is open to all students in the Cook Islands, as well as members of registered youth groups, including the Girls’ and Boys’ Brigade, cultural or sports clubs, and non-government organisations.
Entries can be submitted online by completing the form on the following link:https://forms.gle/JPbsykrBdxfHugL67
The competition closes on Thursday, 17 July 2025, and winners will be announced in August 2025.
For those in the Pa Enua who may not have access to the internet, we kindly ask our island administrators to assist by scanning and emailing completed hard copy forms to mpps.media@cookislands.gov.ck, or by helping participants fill out the online form.
We look forward to seeing the creative names you come up with, and Meitaki Ma’ata for being part of this exciting journey.

The non toxic pest spray near me I purchased was simple to use and extremely effective. It eliminated common household pests quickly while remaining completely safe around pets and kids. The staff were friendly and provided useful tips on avoiding future infestations. I highly recommend this product and service to anyone seeking an environmentally conscious solution for pest problems in their home or garden.
I experienced a sudden blowout and requested their flat tire change service. They arrived promptly and replaced the tire efficiently without wasting time. The technician ensured the spare was properly secured and checked tire pressure before leaving. Their calm and friendly approach made a stressful moment much easier to handle. Excellent service for anyone needing quick roadside tire support.
