Iranian Press TV has reported that the "Asian Glory" ship, with eight Bulgarian crew members, has been released by Somali pirates after a ransom of over USD 5 M was paid.
Prodan Radanov, the Bulgarian representative from the UK Zodiac company which owns the Asian Glory, said he could not confirm the report but added that it would be wonderful if true.
The pirate-held ship was reported to have changed its course and started sailing back towards the coast of Somalia, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced late on Thursday.
According to the latest information received from the Ukrainian Embassy in Great Britain, the ship had returned to its previous mooring off the Somali coast.
On Wednesday, February 17, the vessel was reported to be venturing into open waters, heading south of the Somali coast.
