Summary of the case: On Sunday the 9th of April 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 45 travellers, including one small child, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Tan Tan in the evening of the 6th of April, heading towards Lanzarote. We were not able to establish direct contact to the them, as they were travelling without a satellite phone.
