Somali pirates have freed for ransom the captured Turkish cargo ship "Neslihan", which is transporting 77,000 tons of iron ore from Canada to China.
The ship was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden on October 29. All 20 Turkish crew members were released. The ship owners did not reveal how much ransom they paid.
Piracy off the coast of Somalia in 2008 has earned sea-robbers millions of dollars in ransom. The seizures have prompted some of the world's biggest shipping firms to switch routes from the Suez Canal and send cargo vessels around southern Africa instead.
