Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded

Summary of the Case: On Wednesday, the 29th of June 2016 at 4.50am, the Alarm Phone was directly called from a boat in distress 5km off the Moroccan coast. The travellers asked us to call the Moroccan coastguard as they were in distress and wanted to be rescued. We urged them to call the international emergency number 112 and promised to call the Moroccan coastguard ourselves. We did so immediately afterwards and forwarded all the information we had obtained. One hour later, we called the travellers again. They confirmed to us that they had been rescued by the Moroccan coastguard and were fine.
