Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary On Friday the 29th of October 2021, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 15 travellers in distress in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Temsamane the same morning at 06.00 CEST on a grey rubber boat. We were not able to reach the travellers and the relative also told us that they had lost contact to the boat. We immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo to the distress of the travellers. In the late evening, we learned from the relative that the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy and taken back to Morocco.
