Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 12th August 2022Case name: 2022_08_12-ATL083
Situation: 53 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 Friday the 12th of August 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 53 travellers, including 14 women and two children, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Tan Tan at 04.00 local time the previous morning. We managed to reach the satellite phone of the travellers, but it was impossible to understand each other due to very poor connection. However, we informed the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo about the distress case, relaying all the information we had. On the phone, Salvamento Maritimo confirmed that they were taking care of the distress case.
In the afternoon we learned from the relative that the travellers had been rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to the Canary Islands.
