Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Ocean
Summary of the case: On Sunday the 18th of June 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 54 travellers, including two women, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Boujdour and were heading towards Las Palmas. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers, but received a position from the relative. With this, we immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo to the distress case, relaying all the information we had. Soon after, we learned from the Moroccan rescue authorities that the boat had been rescued and the travellers brought to Las Palmas.
