Incident: Navios Appollon released

Pirates have released the Navios Appollon and its crew, a bulk carrier taken off the Seychelles two months ago. "The Navios Apollon was released yesterday evening. The ship is now sailing to Oman and its final destination is India. They [crew] are all well and safe," said a Greek official. One Greek and 18 Filipinos manned the ship when taken. An unspecified ransom was paid. (Reuters, 02/28/10)
