Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 17th of September 2022 Case name: 2022_09_17-WM053
Situation: 3 travelers in distress in the Alboran Sea, intercepted by the Moroccan navy
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Med
Summary of the Case: On Saturday the 17th of September 2022, in the evening the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of three travelers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Al Hoceima, Morocco that same morning at 10:00 CEST on a blue jet ski heading towards the Spain Mainland, Almeria. We were not able to establish a direct contact to the people on the jet ski, also the relative was not able to reach them anymore. We relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo via E-Mail and phone call. During the next hours we tried to learn more about the travellers but only learned from Salvamento Maritimo that there were no ongoing rescue operations. In the morning of the 18th of September we were informed by the relative that due to technical problems with the engine the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy and brought back to Morocco. We relayed this information to Salvamento Maritimo.
