Back in safe waters, a Greek ship freed by Somali pirates last week arrives in Mombasa, marking the end of a 71 day ordeal for its Filipino crew.
The MV Centauri was carrying salt when it was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden in mid-September. Bullet holes pockmark the cabin - testimony to the violence of the attack.
It's not immediately clear whether the ship's owners paid a ransom to secure the vessel and the crew's release.
The Centauri is one of a number of ships that have been released by pirates this week.
