Two crew kidnapped from an Edison Chouest Offshore vessel have been released off Nigeria.
The US embassy in Nigera said "at least" two seafarers were released on Friday after being taken hostage two weeks ago, but details were scarce.
Three men were taken when eight raiders boarded the 3,300-dwt supply vessel C-Endeavour (built 1999) on 17 November about 70 nautical miles off Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta.
Two were American and one was Mexican. The ship was chartered by Chevron.
