MV Abdullah and the ship's 23 sailors returned to Chittagong on Tuesday, 65 days after being taken hostage by Somali pirates.
The crew members received a warm welcome when vessel MV Jahan Moni-3, carrying them from Kutubdia in Cox's Bazar, reached New Mooring Container Terminal (NCT)-1.
Relatives waiting for the sailors' safe return had gathered at the port jetty with flowers.
Abdun Nur Khan Asif, younger brother of the chief officer, Atiqullah Khan, said, "I can't express in words how happy we are that my elder brother is back. The whole family was waiting for this day."
