Frontline filed a new lawsuit against DHT Holdings and BW Group the same day that it withdrew its New York litigation, a lawyer for the John Fredriksen-led company tells TradeWinds.
The New York and Oslo-listed tanker giant lodged the new litigation in the Marshall Islands, the corporate home for DHT.
The filing is the latest in a series of aggressive steps that also saw Frontline make a renewed offer to merge with DHT along with the full fleet of 11 VLCCs that the takeover target has agreed to buy from BW in a $538m agreement.
