Summary of the case:
On the 1st of May 2021 at 21:50h CEST, our hotline was informed about a missing boat with 43 travelers (among them 19 women, 4 children and 20 men). They had left from Dakhla in the early morning of the 28th of April in a wooden fishing boat. We alerted the Spanish Search and Rescue organization Salvamento Marítimo (SM) in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
For the next three days, our shift teams tried to clarify if the boat had arrived or had been rescued, monitoring the reporting in the media and talking to SM and the Guardia Civil. On the 5th of May, we received the confirmation from a friend of someone on the boat, that they had been rescued to Gran Canaria.
