Situation: 55 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 Tuesday the 6th of September 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 55 travellers, including 15 women and three children, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Tan Tan at around 02.00 CEST the previous morning. Due to technical problems it was not possible to get much information about their whereabouts and the conditions onboard. However, we relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo via phone and email. Just before midday Salvamento Maritimo informed us that the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy and were being brought back to Morocco.
