Somali pirates have released the Italian chemical tanker M/T Enrico Ievoli and its 18 crewmembers almost four months after being hijacked off the coast of Oman, the foreign ministry in Rome said on Monday.
The Italian flagged and owned M/T Enrico Ievoli was hijacked on December 27 off the coast of Oman while on its way to a rendezvous point for a Chinese armed convoy. The vessel had a crew of 18 — 6 Italian, 5 Ukranian and 7 Indian — and was carrying 15,750mt of caustic soda when she was hijacked.
The Enrico Ievoli is owned by Marnavi, who confirmed on its website that the vessel is “back under control of the owner and under the command of its Master”.
No word yet how much ransom was paid for the vessels release.
