Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 30th of May 2018Case name: 2018_05_30-WM243
Situation: Alarm Phone alerted to emergency situation in the Western Med
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the Case: On Wednesday, the 30th of May 2018, our Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a contact person at 8.28am to a boat in distress, carrying 5 people. They had left Morocco at 4am, local time, from Cap Spartel. We tried to reach them, but they were unable to find their coordinates, probably as their phone had become wet. At 8.43am we spoke to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo (SM) and passed on all the information about the new case, the third case of the day. They knew about the boat and were searching for it. At 9.22am, our contact person confirmed that they had been rescued by SM to Spain.
