i>Case name: 2019_06_05-WM394
Situation: One boat with 13 travelers from Cap Spartel, intercepted by Marine Royale and brought back to Morocco.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
Summary of the case: In the early morning of Wednesday the 5th of June a contact person alerted the Alarm phone to a boat in distress with 13 travellers which had left from Cap Spartel the previous evening. The weather was very bad. We unsuccessfully tried to establish contact with the boat for many hours. At 1.45pm our shift team called MRCC Rabat and asked whether they had rescued a boat corresponding to our case. They informed us that on that day there had been no search and rescue operations. At 4.00pm we finally managed to get through to one of the travellers, who told us that they had been intercepted and brought back to Morocco by the Moroccan navy.
