Situation: Around 40 travellers in distress in the Western Mediterranean Sea, intercepted by the Moroccan navy.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
Summary: On Saturday the 8th of January 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of around 40 travellers in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Nador on a grey rubber boat, heading towards Almeria. The relative had lost contact to the boat at midday. We were also not able to reach the travellers directly, but immediately relayed all information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. In the late evening, the Moroccan rescue authorities informed us that they had intercepted a boat matching the description we had provided. The following morning they confirmed that they had intercepted the travellers, and shortly after we received the same information from the relative we were in contact with.
