Cook Islands
Family Team
L
ying half-way between Australia and South America, the Cook Is lands are Boral Gas Pacific’s
(BGP) most easterly location. Established in 1974, the 120-tonne capacity seaboard terminal is serviced by one of BGP’s sea going tankers four times a year.
A small, self-governing community of 15 islands, the people of the Cook Is lands are friendly and work together as a team.
The six nationals employed by Boral Gas Cook Islands are no exception.
Determined to meet the needs of clients, Managing Agent Lionel Browne and his six employees treat the operation as a family business.
The versatility of gas as a fuel comes into its own on the islands where it is used in homes, restau rants and the tourist industry.
They not only manage the terminal itself, but also control filling and deliv ery of LPG cylinders to domestic con sumers, delivery of bulk LPG to commer cial clientele, sales of appliances and in stallation and servicing of LPG equip ment.
Mr Browne says their service also ex tends to supplying gas to the more iso lated of the surrounding islands. Occa sionally the Cook Islands operation de livers LPG to Nuie Island.
