Situation: Distress situation in the Aegean Sea.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Aegean Sea
Summary of the Case: On Sunday the 6th of May 2018, at 6.08am, our Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a boat in distress in the Aegean Sea, near Lesvos, carrying 50 people. We received a GPS position as well as a phone number. We reached them shortly after and we heard loud noises as well as people who were anxiously shouting. A few minutes later we called the Greek coastguards and passed on the details of this case. At 7.40am, we reached out to the coastguards again, but it was not clear whether this boat had already been found or had landed independently on the island. At 8.15am, the coastguards confirmed the rescue of the boat.
