Summary of the Case:
On Monday, 8th of October, at 6:21am CEST we have been alerted to a boat with 40 people in distress close to Bodrum. At 6:35am we managed to establish a connection to the boat. The travellers informed us that their engine did not work any more. They sent their position which was in Turkish waters. The connection broke and we couldn’t reach the travellers again. We tried to reach the Turkish Coast Guard to request assistance, but we had to call various numbers in order to reach someone. Only at 7:40am we reached the TCG. They informed us that they had found the boat and had brought it back to Turkey.
