Nordic American Tankers and chief executive Herbjorn Hansson lost on all counts in a Norwegian legal battle against his former chief financial officer, Turid Sorensen.

In the dispute waged in a local court in Sandefjord, Sorensen succeeded in her request for a bank guarantee for her NOK 17.6m ($2m) pension that Hansson had denied her, claiming her behaviour towards NAT was disloyal.
