Summary of the Case:
On Friday, the 8th of December, at 9.05am, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a contact person to 4 travellers on their way to Spain. They had left at 4am from Cap Spartel, close to Tangier. The contact person forwarded us their phone number and a position showing that they were still in Moroccan waters, but we were informed that they were doing alright and wished to continue on their own. We received two more locations, showing that they were going the right direction. At 11.06am the contact person informed us that they had been rescued by the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo (SM). This was later confirmed in a tweet by SM.
