There were 21 people on board who have been transferred to the Commercial dock where they have been attended by the Red Cross. All occupants are male, four of them claim to be minors, and of Maghrebi origin.

The NGO reports that the migrants were in good health and have not made any transfers to the José Molina Orosa hospital.
