Crew Members of MV POMPEI to be re-united with their Families

Crew members of the Belgian ship MV POMPEI sea-jacked by pirates off Somalia in mid-April will be re-united with their families early next week, Belgium's government crisis center said in a statement Saturday.

The announcement came after the vessel - which was hijacked before dawn on April 18 about 150 kilometres (90 miles) north of the Seychelles and taken to the Somalia coast - arrived in port in Salalah, Oman on Saturday. The ship's Dutch captain and crew of two Belgians, three Filipinos and four Croatians are to return home by plane, with the skipper and the Belgians arriving early Monday at Brussels airport.
