Situation: 56 travellers in distress in the Atlantic Sea, rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to the Canary Islands.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Altantic Sea
Summary: On Monday the 6th of December 2021, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 56 travellers, including 14 women and two children, in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The travellers had left the previous night from Laayoune, heading towards the Canary Islands. We tried many times to reach the satellite phone number onboard, but were not able to establish a direct connection to the travellers. However, we relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. The following morning, the relative informed us that the travellers had been rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and were brought to the Canary Islands.
