Summary of Case
On April 6th at 22:00h CET the Alarm Phone was alerted to a 6m long black boat with 2 motors carrying 20 people that left from Al Hoceima in the early morning. We did not manage to establish contact with the travelers throughout the whole time. At 22:52 we alerted the Spanish authorities (Salvamento Maritimo Almeria) about the case, however they only noted down all the information and said that they don’t know if they can go out during the night. At 05:45h relatives of the travelers informed us that the boat was rescued by the Spanish authorities (Salvamento Maritomo). Later on another relative send us a picture of their son who announced that they were rescued. At 8:27h SM Almeria also confirmed that the travelers are safe in Motril. Later on we also found a confirmation of the rescue by Heroes del Mar.
