Place of Incident: Atlantic Sea
Summary On Monday the 13th of September 2021, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to two boats in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The boat has left in a convoy from Boujdour, heading towards the Canary Islands, the previous day at around 02.00 CEST. One boat was carrying 28 travellers, the other 24 travellers. The relative had lost contact to the boats at 03.00 CEST and our shift team was also not able to establish contact to the boats. However, we forwarded the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. Throughout the night and the following day we continuously tried to reach the boats but without success. In the afternoon, the relative told us that they had spoken to the travellers and that they had all arrived safely to the Canary Islands.
