The Somali pirates have released a hijacked Greek-owned vessel, the Eagles, after being paid a ransom.
The pirates said they had released MV Eagle, a 52,163 deadweight tonne merchant vessel and its crew of 24 Filipinos seized in January, about 500 miles south west of Oman, while it was en route to India from Jordan.
The ECOTERRA International organization, based in Nairobi, says the sum of the ransom has not been disclosed but suggests that it was a generous one for a 25-year-old ship.
All of the 24 Filipino crewmates are reportedly well and safe.
