Summary of the Case: On the 6th of June, a relative alerted the Alarm Phone shift team to a boat in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The group of 58 travellers, including two women and one child, had left Tan Tan, Morocco, on the 5th of June in a plastic boat in direction of Lanzarote. The shift team managed to reach the travellers. We learned that their engine was not working anymore and got their GPS-position, and forwarded the alert and information about the boat to Spanish and Moroccan search and rescue authorities. Soon after, the Moroccan authorities confirmed that a patrol boat has left in direction of the boat in distress. The next morning, the shift team got the information that the boat had been returned to Morocco.
