Salvamento Marítimo collaborates with Marruecos searching for a barge with a thirty occupants that requested assistance early this Tuesday morning when it was more than 113 kilometers northwest of Tan Tan, to the southwest of the African country.

This has been confirmed to EFE by sources from Salvamento Marítimo, which this Wednesday has activated the plane Sasemar 103 to participate in the search for this vessel.

Apparently, it is a pneumatic boat that until now the Moroccan Navy has not been able to locate, so its search will be intensified with the Rescue aircraft, which departed at 09:00 hours from Las Palmas.
