Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 12th of May 2023Case name: 2023_05_12WM033
Situation: 11 travellers in distress in the Western Mediterranean arrived in Spain.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the case: On Friday the 12th of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 11 travellers in distress in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Tibaza, Algeria on the 8th of May in the early hours of the morning, heading towards Palma de Mallorca. According to the relatives, they had left in a convoy with another boat. We did not have much information about the distress case, not even a phone number of the travellers, but immediately relayed the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. We learned about a rescue of a boat matching the description we had received, and later the relative confirmed that the travellers had arrived in Spain.
