The Royal Moroccan Navy rescued 23 fishermen on Tuesday, crew members of a fishing boat that was in great difficulty off the coast of Sidi Abderrahman, in the town of Casablanca.

The artisanal ship, called “Doha2”, was in great difficulty after a major leak, which caused it to sink after 15 minutes of sailing, according to a military source who spoke to MAP.

The rescue operation was carried out in collaboration with members of the Royal Gendarmerie, the source said, adding that the rescued were taken safely to the port of Casablanca.
