Summary of the Case: In the evening of Thursday the 24th of October the Alarm Phone was alerted to a boat in distress. At 09.07 pm CEST we managed to establish contact with the travellers who informed us that they were around 30 people on board of which 13 children. At 9.14 pm we received from the travellers their GPS position which we immediately passed on to the Turkish coastguard. After having lost contact with the boat we were informed later in the evening that the travellers had reached the coast by themselves after their boat had crashed and that they had been rescued from land by Turkish police.
