Ocean Viking sends an email to ITMRCC, with RCC Malta in copy, to inform of the multiple unsuccessful attempts to reach RCC Malta and offers, again, her assistance with the distress case. Ocean Viking informs the RCCs of the weather in the area, which presents very dangerous conditions for a small craft with NW winds force 5 and sea state between 4 and 5. Ocean Viking notes that the persons in distress have been exposed to the elements for over 12 hours.
