The German freighter "Hansa Stavanger" has docked in the Kenyan port of Mombasa under tight security. The vessel and its crew were seized by pirates off the coast of Somalia in early April, and then released for a ransom reportedly totalling two million euros. Observers say last year alone, pirates earned more than 150 million euros hijacking foreign vessels.
