Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Thursday the 27th of April 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 23 travellers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Temsamane the previous morning on a green polyester boat. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers and did not know their exact GPS position. However, we immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. Later that day, we learned from the relative that the travellers had been rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to mainland Spain.
