Summary of Case
On April 9th at 17:10h CET the Alarm Phone was alerted to a grey zodiac (rubber boat) with 1 engine carrying 30 travelers, including 5 women and a baby that left from Laayoune in the early morning in the direction of Fuerteventura. Since we did not manage to
establish contact with the boat, friends of the travelers requested us to alert the authorities. At 19:22h friends of the travelers informed us that they have been rescued by the Spanish authorities (Salvamento Maritimo Las Palmas). Later on we also got a confirmation from the authorities themselves.
