NAIROBI -- A Taiwanese fishing ship that was freed last week by Somali pirates who held it for five

months arrived safely in Kenya on Wednesday, an official said.

The Ching Fong Hwa No. 168 and its 12 crew were seized in May off Somalia in one of the world's most dangerous waterways.

"I understand it has already docked at the harbor. I am on my way there," Andrew Mwangura of the East African Seafarers' Assistance program told Reuters by telephone from Mombasa.

The vessel was said to be carrying eight Chinese sailors and four Taiwanese, but Mwangura said there could be more on board.

Somali pirates are thought to be holding a cargo ship registered in Comoros and a Japanese-owned chemical tanker.
