Summary of the Case:
On Tuesday, 17th of April, at 4:15am, we were alerted to a boat in distress on its way to the Greek island Chios. At 4:17am we called the Greek Coast Guard and passed the position. The Coast Guard promised to launch a search and rescue operation immediately. At 4:25am we received the information that the boat had reached the shore on its own safely, but the travellers were in need of support and medical treatment, especially a pregnant woman among them. At 4:28am we informed the Coast Guard that promised to call the police for assistance. At 4:44am we documented the alert via email to the authorities. We were informed by the contact person that the people had been fetched and assisted shortly after by the police.
