Summary of the Case: In the afternoon of Monday the 31st of May the Alarm Phone was alerted by a relative of one of the travellers to a boat in distress carrying 52 travellers, including 4 women. The boat had left from Laayoune in the very early morning of Sunday the 30th of May. After trying to reach the boat unsuccessfully several times at 17:47h CEST our shift team alerted the Spanish Search and Rescue organization Salvamento Marítimo (SM) with the little information we had. While we never managed to reach the travellers ourselves, in the evening the relative that first alerted us informed us that they had reached their destination in Fuerteventura.
