Situation: Group of 59 travellers rescued to Lanzarote after their departure from Tan Tan, Morocco.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Ocean
Summary of the Case: On the 9th of June, a relative alerted the Alarm Phone shift team to a boat in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The group of 59 travellers, including five women and one child, had departed from Tan Tan, Morocco, in a zodiac. The shift team managed to reach the travellers who reported that they were exhausted, in particular the child, and needed help. The shift team alerted the relevant authorities, relaying all information to them, including the position and phone number of the people on the boat. In the next hours, the shift team reached the travellers again and again, and their situation got worse as they had not eaten in three days and were running out of water. Around 17 hours after the first alert to the boat, the shift team was informed that the boat had been rescued to Lanzarote.
