Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 14th November 2020Case name: 2020_11_12_WM523
Situation: 25 travelers in distress arrived on Tenerife
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
Summary
On the 12th of November the Alarmphone was alerted to a boat in distress carrying 25 people, which had left from Dahkla, Morocco early morning on the 7th of November and had been heading to the Canary Islands. At 12:58h CEST we alerted Guardia Civil about the case. They informed us that a boat with 27 people arrived, together with other 2 or 3 boats. Guardia Civil Canaria forwarded us to Salvamento Maritimo, who claimed that there were 3 arrivals, but none of them matched our boat. It was not possible to establish contact with the travelers for days. On the following day we received a confirmation that the boat has arrived from friends of the travelers, however not from the travelers themselves. It was not possible for us to reestablish contact to the travellers, to get a more clear picture of what happened in this case. We are still investigating what exactly happened and will later add to this case report.
