Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
Summary of the Case: On the 28th of June at 2:05am CEST the Alarmphone shift team was alerted to a boat carrying 53 people (including 5 women) which had left from Nador at around 3am the day before (27th of June). Over the course of the day we tried and failed to make direct contact with the travellers. At 6pm we learned that the Spanish search & rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo (SM) had seen the boat. At 7pm SM confirmed that they had found the boat, but that the travellers would be taken to Morocco as they had been rescued by the Moroccan navy. At 4:33pm the next day (29th of June) we received confirmation that the travellers were back in Morocco.
