Container-line Maersk has suffered an IT outage due to the “Petya” virus. That has impacted upon its shipping units, but not energy. With vessels continuing to operate the main problem area is APM Terminals. The Port of New York has indicated its facility will be offline until June 29, while the company works on a recovery plan. APM operates 75 ports globally, handling 9.4 million TEUs in the first quarter of 2017. There may be a small impact on revenues for the second quarter – Panjiva analysis shows it accounted for 12% of Maersk group revenues in the past 12 months.
