More needs to be done to combat cyber threat

Shipping needs to build cyber resilience in the wake of the cyber-attack on Maersk Line, a maritime cyber security has warned.

The attack has the potential to throw global container supply chains into chaos, according to CyberKeel chief executive Lars Jensen.

He told delegates at the TOC Europe Container Supply Chain conference in Amsterdam that the attack is “likely to spread well beyond Maersk, its terminal operating arm APM Terminals and its customers”.
