Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 10th of June 2018Case name: 2018_06_10-WM257
Situation: 27 travellers from Nador rescued to Spain
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the Case:
On Sunday, 10th of June, at 10:20am CEST, we were alerted to a motor boat that had left from nador towards the Spanish coast already the day before at 5pm, carrying 27 people, among them 2 women. The contact person had called the Spanish rescue authority Salvamento Marítimo several times to request assistance to the boat, but he lost contact to the boat at night and didn’t know whether the boat had been rescued or not. We tried to reach the boat several times, but couldn’t establish a connection. Afterwards we alerted local contacts and groups in Andalucia. At 12:30am we called Salvamento Marítimo in Madrid and passed our information on the boat. At 12:39am they called back and confirmed that the boat had been rescued to Spain.
