Operations at one of the three terminals of India’s largest container port JNPT were affected as a fallout of the Petya global ransomware attack. This crippled some central banks and many large corporations in Europe.
AP Moller-Maersk, one of the affected entities globally, operates the Gateway Terminals India (GTI) at JNPT, which has a capacity to handle 1.8 million standard container units, PTI reported.
“We have been informed that the operations at GTI have come to a standstill because their systems are down (due to the malware attack). They are trying to work manually,” PTI quoted a senior JNPT official as saying on Tuesday night. The official said JNPT was trying to help the company, but there is little that others can do as the problem is with the systems.
Fearing some clogging up of cargo, additional parking space is being made available, the official said, promising to help in any way that is possible. The Hague-based APM Terminals also operates the Pipavav terminal in Gujarat.
The current attacks come weeks after the Wanna cry ransomware attack, which impacted systems of many companies.
