The Bangladeshi ship, MV Abdullah, which has recently been freed from Somali pirates, is set to sail off for home from the Al Hamriya Port in Dubai on Sunday (April 27).
Mizanul Islam, media focal person of Kabir Group, the owner of the ship, confirmed it on Saturday.
He said loading of goods to MV Abduallh Port Al Hamriya in Dubai was completed. The ship would leave the port on Sunday morning.
Mizanul Islam further said that all the 23 sailors would return by the same ship.
Asked how many days it would take to reach the ship to Chattogram Port in Bangladesh, he said 'MV Abdullah' is likely to arrive by the middle of May.
The MV Abdullah was hijacked from the Indian Ocean on March 12 last, some 600 nautical miles of the Somalian coast, while it was going to Dubai.
After holding the ship hostage for 33 days at gunpoint, Somali pirates released the Bangladeshi ship on the night of April 13 in exchange for a reported ransom of US$5million.
