Summary: On Tuesday the 1st of February 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 33 travellers, among them women, in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The travellers had left from around Boujdour on the 29th of February on a small wooden boat, heading towards the Canary Islands. We were not able to reach the travellers directly, but relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. In the afternoon, the travellers managed to reach the relative, and informed them that they could see a rescue ship. At 17.06 CET the travellers confirmed that they had been rescued by Salvamento Maritimo.
