Situation: 59 travellers in distress in the Atlantic Sea, probably arrived to Lanzarote.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Sea
Summary of the case: On Thursday the 12th of May 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted nu a relative to a group of 59 travellers, including 15 women and six children, in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The travellers had left from Tan Tan at 23.00 CEST on the 10th of May, heading towards the Canary Islands on a black rubber boat. According to the relative, the travellers had dropped their satellite phone in the water and were therefore no longer reachable. The following morning we learned that a boat matching the description we had received had been rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to Lanzarote. Seven of the travellers were transferred to hospital.
