Hi All

I see that the ship in question has been named as the Victoria.

If that is right, then is presumably VICTORIA (IMO 7906203) ex-SASCUT

MOGADISHU - May 23 Somali pirates have released a Jordanian-flagged cargo ship hijacked last week off the lawless coast of the Horn of Africa nation, a shipping agent said on Friday.
   "The ship has been released. All the pirates have left the ship, the crew is safe and healthy. The ship is sailing to Mogadishu to discharge its cargo of 2,400 tonnes of sugar,"
