MV HANSA STAVANGER has finally docked in Mombasa

"I am more than happy to say that all 24 crew members have now undergone proper medical attention," Torsten Ites, a senior naval officer in the European Union's anti-piracy Operation Atalanta, told a news conference in Mombasa. "The pirates took everything, including toothbrushes," Cmdr. Torsten Ites told journalists in Mombasa, but was mum on the ransom.

"They are slowly but surely recovering ... They are optimistic and eager to start their lives in freedom away from the pirates." Journalists did not have access to the crew, who are expected to be flown home soon.

Cargo-owners, who had eagerly waited for their goods since more than four month are, however, frustrated concerning the way the shipping company LEONHARDT & BLUMBERG, the Cargo handler in Dubai and the insurance assessor are dealing with them. Several cargo owners have reportedly now undertaken legal action, while one consignee already identified looted goods from his shipment on pictures from Somalia.
