The Sinar Kudus was captured by pirates on March 16 approximately 320 miles north of east Socotra in the Somali basin, with its crew of 20. Pirates said they released the ship after a ransom payment was airdropped to them. "We received the cash of $4.5 million early this morning.

Andrew Mwangura, a Kenya-based former maritime official and now the maritime editor of The Somalia Report confirmed the ship had been freed, adding it had not started to sail away yet.
