The European Union's anti-piracy force says Somali pirates have released a Greek oil tanker after holding the ship for two months, Voice of America reported.
The EU force said Monday the Irene SL was on its way to a safe port, and that all the crew members are in good health after the ship's release last week.
Pirates captured the ship February 9 off the coast of Oman. It was carrying about $200 million worth of crude oil to the United States.
The vessel had a crew of 25, including 17 Filipinos, seven Greeks and one Georgian.
