Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 16th December 2021Case name: 2021_12_16-WM807
Situation: ~30 travellers in distress in the Atlantic Sea, rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to Lanzarote.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Sea.
Summary: On Thursday the 16th of December 2021, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of ~30 travellers (including nine women and three children) in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The travellers had left from Laayoune the same morning at around 02.00 CET, heading towards the Canary Islands. We reached the travellers, but as the connection was very bad we were not able to obtain their GPS position. Later, we learned from the relative that the travellers had been rescued and brought to Lanzarote. Due to a high number of search and rescue operations in the Atlantic Sea during those days, it was not possible to get a final confirmation from Salvamento Maritimo of the rescue of this boat.
