Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
Summary of Case In the morning of September 13th we were called by a relative who alerted us to a group of three people on a jetski who had departed Al Hoceima and were drifting south of the Spanish coast. We were unable to establish direct contact to the people in distress and informed authorities at 03.45 CEST. Shortly after, the relative provided a GPS position which we forwarded to the Spanish Search and Rescue organisation Salvamento Marítimo (SM) Almería. At 05.33 CEST SM Almería confirmed they were in the process of a SAR mission concerning the group in distress. At 09.40 CEST we received confirmation from the relative who had alerted us and SM Almería that a merchant vessel had rescued three people from the GPS position provided and was now heading to Motril, Spain.
