Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 25th June 2022Case name: 2022_06_25-ATL061
Situation: 58 travellers in distress in the Atlantic Sea, rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to the Canary Islands.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Sea
Summary of the case: On Saturday the 25th of June the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 58 travellers, including seven women and two children, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Tarfaya in the early hours of the morning on a blue and white rubber boat. We managed to reach the travellers in the morning and get their GPS position. However, communication was very difficult due to bad connection. We immediately relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. After our initial contact to the travellers we were no longer able to establish contact to the boat. In the afternoon, Salvamento Maritimo informed us that they had rescued the travellers and were bringing them to the Canary Islands.
