The Sasemar 103 Maritime Rescue plane has located about 56 kilometers southeast of Gran Tarajal a pneumatic boat that had been sought for days and the Salvamar Izar has departed in aid of the people it carries on board, according to what a spokesperson for the state company has informed EFE.
Nevertheless, the Las Palmas center has asked a merchant ship that was sailing through the area to remain alongside this precarious vessel, given the bad sea conditions and the average visibility that is registered.
In the area there are winds of up to 39 knots and waves of between 5 and 6 meters, the sources have highlighted, who have not yet been able to specify the place where the occupants of this inflatable boat will be disembarked.
