Situation: 6 travellers in distress in the Alboran Sea, rescued to Spain.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the case: On Thursday the 27th of October 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of six travellers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Al Hoceima the previous day at around 10.00 CEST on a green wooden boat. The relative told us that the travellers were close to Motril but had run out of fuel. The relative also forwarded us the GPS position of the boat. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers, but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo who confirmed that they would commence a search and rescue operation. The following morning Salvamento Maritimo told us that the travellers had been rescued by the Guardia Civil.
