Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 12th February 2022Case name: 2022_02_12-CM029
Situation: 30 travellers in distress in the Central Med, arrived to Lampedusa.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Saturday the 12th of February 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team received a direct call from a boat in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. Onboard were around 30 travellers, asking for urgent rescue. We managed to get their GPS position and immediately alerted all relevant rescue authorities to the distress situation. We stayed in contact with the boat but due to bad connection it was hard to obtain any further information. However, from comparing their positions over time we could establish that they were probably drifting. In the afternoon, we learned that the travellers had arrived to Lampedusa.
