Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the case: On Friday the 28th of October 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 11 travellers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Tazaghine on a small wooden boat. We were not able to reach the travellers, but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. We never managed to reach the travellers despite continuously trying. Throughout the day and the following day the authorities could not give us any information about the boat. Only the day after, on the 30th of October did we learn from the relative that the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy after having spent three days at sea.
