Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of Case In the evening of August 14th Alarm Phone was called by a relative who alerted us to a blue wooden boat in distress carrying 12 people who had departed from Annaba, Algeria. We were unable to establish direct contact to the boat. We forwarded the information available to authorities at 19.44 CEST. Both the Marine Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) Cagliary and authorities in Algeria were already aware of the distress case. Throughout the following day, August 15th relatives call us asking for news of their family members. At 20.00 CEST MRCC Cagliary confirmed the rescue of eight people which might match the initial alert we received. At 12.10 CEST August 16th the relative who initially alerted us to the distress case confirmed the boat had been rescued to Italy.
