The family of one of the 24 crew members of the German vessel Hansa Stavanger who were released today by Somali pirates cannot wait to see their family member.
Fiji citizen Wayne Mausio, a crew member of the vessel, left his Kinoya home in March this year.
The German vessel was hijacked in April around 400 nautical miles from the Somali coast.
Wayne's mother Vamarasi Mausio said deep in her heart she always knew that she will meet her son again.

Pirates released German vessel Hansa Stavanger and its 24 strong crew after being paid $2.7million and was later escorted from the Somali coast by a European Union naval force.
