Somali pirates released the Greek-owned oil tanker " Irene SL" late Thursday after 58 days in captivity.
A spokesman for ENESEL SA, the manager, declined to comment on how the vessel was returned or whether a ransom was paid.
The supertanker was headed to the U.S. Gulf Coast from Mina Al Ahmadi, Kuwait, carrying 270,000 metric tons of crude oil when it was attacked and seized in early February off the coast of Oman.
The vessel N.S. Lemos & Co., plans to sail the ship to Durban, South Africa, for inspection and resupply, while also replacing the ship's officers and crew.
