Situation: 36 travellers in distress in the Atlantic Ocean, intercepted by the Moroccan navy.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Ocean
Summary of the case: On Thursday the 1st of September 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 36 travellers, including three children, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Tan Tan on 31st of August in the early hours of the morning on a rubber boat. We were not able to reach the boat, but relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. The following day we spoke to the Spanish Guardia Civil who told us that they had not yet found the boat. The Moroccan rescue authorities likewise told us that they had not intercepted the travellers.
The following morning, the relative informed us that the boat had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy. This was shortly after confirmed by the Moroccan rescue authorities.
