Impact hacking continues

APM unloads ships 'manually'

The hacking which took place on Tuesday afternoon is still having major consequences for Maersk and the APM Terminals. Via Twitter, both companies are keeping customers informed of the situation.

Maersk reports that some systems have been deliberately disabled. Technical recovery is being undertaken. The company is not detailing which locations have been affected. "Our focus is to provide the best possible continuity for our customers and partners," said the shipping company on Twitter. New bookings can be made via the INTTRA platform.



"Most of the terminals are in operation. Some terminals are operating more slowly than usual or with limited functionality." This can be seen in the port of Rotterdam, where the terminal on the Maasvlakte I is running a test to unload ships 'manually'. The terminal is not fully automated, so the cranes and container tugs can be used without IT systems. The Maasvlakte II terminal is fully automated and can not function without ICT services.
