he Golden Wave (right) was attacked on 9 October 2010 and was in the hands of pirates for 123 days
A South Korean fishing trawler hijacked in October has arrived in the Kenyan port of Mombasa after its release last week by Somali pirates.
Family and friends of the 39 Kenyan, two South Korean and two Chinese sailors aboard welcomed them.
The FV Golden Wave - also known as Keummi 305 - was escorted into the port by a Finnish warship.
After disembarking, trawler captain Kim Dae-keunm told the news networks that no ransom was paid for their release.
Somalia has had no functioning central government since 1991, allowing piracy to flourish off its coast.
Some of the crew members told our reporter that their trawler was used by the pirates as a mother ship to attack other vessels
