Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 11th August 2022Case name: 2022_08_11-ATL080
Situation: 40 travellers in distress in the Atlantic, rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to the Canary Islands.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Ocean
Summary of the case: On Thursday the 11th of August 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 40 men in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left the previous evening at 22.00, and had thus already been at sea for almost 24 hours. They had left from Tan Tan in a black rubber boat. We were not able to reach the travellers, but through the relative we learned that they were almost out of fuel. We relayed the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. On the phone, they confirmed to us that they were taking care of the situation, and that they had several ongoing search and rescue operations. The following evening we learned from the relative that the travellers had been rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to the Canary Islands.
