Cyber Attach Hits Maersk–Cargo May Get Stuck at Sea

Given the state of our industry with much of our components and products originating in Asia, we are passing on the below message:

______________________________________________________________________

We have been notified by Maersk Lines that they are the victims of a massive cyber-attack that has shut down 300 of their offices and shut their entire organization down, including some subsidiary companies. This will disrupt and delay cargo.

Several APM Terminals around the world, including the terminal in Mobile, AL, have been shut down and cargo can currently not be delivered to or picked up at these terminals. The Port Authority in New York/New Jersey advises truckers to delay trips to the APM Terminal there.

It is recommended that you do not communicate with them by email or visit their website(s) until it is announced that they are back to normal as this could potentially lead to spreading the infection.

We are monitoring the situation very closely. If you have any cargo moving on Maersk Lines we encourage you to check your Vision account for status changes and feel free to reach out to your V. Alexander account team if needed.
