Douglas company's ship crew released

The crew of a Manx-owned ship have been released after 14 months in captivity in Yemen.

Houthi fighters captured the Galaxy Leader, owned by Douglas-registered company Galaxy Maritime, and imprisoned its 25 crew members.

The Filipinos, Mexicans, Romanians, Bulgarians and Ukrainians have been handed over to authorities on Oman.

Their release comes after Israel and Hamas agreed a ceasefire in Gaza.
