On Sunday, 28th of January, at 7:22am, we received information by a contact person about a boat in distress near Mytilene/Lesvos, carrying 55 passengers.
We couldn’t reach the boat and called the Greek Coast Guard at 7:38am. We continued to communicate with the contact person since we still couldn’t establish direct contact to the boat. At 8:32am we received the information that the Greek Coast Guard had arrived at the boat. We couldn‘t confirm the rescue directly with the people on board, but at 11:34am the contact person confirmed that all 55 people had been rescued to Lesvos.
