Situation: 16 travellers stranded on Isla de Alboran, rescued and brought to Almeria.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the case: On Wednesday the 10th of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 16 travellers in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Nador on the 8th of May at around 06.00 CEST, heading towards Isla de Alboran. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers, but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. For several days, no Spanish authority was able to give us any information about whether the people had been rescued. Only two days later did we learn from the relative that they had been rescued and brought to Almeria.
