Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 26th of July 2020Case name: 2020_07_26-WM472
Situation: 6 travelers
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
On the 26th of July at 2:50h CEST the Alarm Phone received a call from a boat with 6 travelers who left Tangier at 23:00h in the direction of Algeciras. We could not figure out their position since they had no signal. They agreed that we call the Spanish Search and Rescue Agency Salvamento Maritimo (SM) to rescue them because they were in distress. SM refused to do anything and told us to call the Moroccan Marine Royale (MR). A concerned relative contacted us to ask for additional information and decided to also make pressure on SM to rescue his brother. At 13:22h we managed to reach the travelers who informed us that they have been rescued to Morocco by MR.
