Summary of the Case:
On Monday the 1st of January, at 9.56pm, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a contact person to a group of 64 travellers in distress. The contact person forwarded us the phone number of the travellers, and a position showing that they were close to the Greek island Chios. The situation was very urgent due to high waves. At 10.29pm we called the Greek coast guard and passed on the information about the distress. Half an hour later, in a second call, the coast guard informed us that they had not been able to reach the travellers. At 11.19pm the contact person informed us that the travellers had been rescued, and that everyone was alright. This was later confirmed by the Greek coast guard.
