The St Vincent-flagged Titan had a cargo of iron and was sailing from the Black Sea to South Korea when it was seized on March 19.
Three of its crew were Greek, but the spokeswoman could not confirm the nationalities of the other sailors or the ship's current location after its release on Wednesday.
