On January 18, Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen, the Port of Frederikshavn's port director since 2011, was fired. So was Deputy Operations Director Kim Nielsen. The reason was that trust in the management of the debt-ridden port had disappeared. But now, according to Nordjyske, Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen does not seem to be able to settle for a dismissal.

After his dismissal, Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen was otherwise entitled to one year's salary and to keep his company car during the period. So far, it is not assessed that the former port director's behavior.
