<\/p>\n
As of today, both MSC.com and myMSC.com are accessible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The network outage was first reported last Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The company later said the outage was isolated to company\u2019s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and all departments, terminals, and depots continued to operate without disruptions. The company said it continued to take bookings via bookings via phone or email, which was not impacted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although MSC has not said for certain the cause of the outage, it initially said it could not rule out the possibility of a malware cyber attack. We\u2019ve reached out to MSC for comment but so far we have not heard back. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Currently, all cargo booking options are available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>The incident was confined to MSC\u2019s headquarters in Geneva only and affected the availability of some of MSC\u2019s digital tools and msc.com for a few days during the Easter holiday long weekend. MSC agencies remained fully functional and continued serving customers as usual during this time,\u201d today\u2019s update said.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Swiss-based Mediterranean Shipping Company is the second largest container shipping line, controlling 571 ships representing 16% share of the world\u2019s TEU capacity. It also participates in the 2M Alliance with Maersk, the world\u2019s leading container line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Word of a possible cyber attack couldn\u2019t help but recall memories of the 2017 NotPetya malware attack that crippled Maersk\u2019s global networks and disrupted its container shipping operations for weeks, costing Maersk some $300 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWhile MSC considers this incident to be resolved, we remain focused and cautious in our approach to information technology and committed to minimising the risk of systems outages,\u201d MSC said Wednesday. \u201cWe thank all our customers for their patience and support while we worked hard to make all systems available again as soon as this was possible.\u201d<\/p>\n gCaptain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As of today, both MSC.com and myMSC.com are accessible.\u00a0 The network outage was first reported last Friday.\u00a0 The company later said the outage was isolated to company\u2019s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and all departments, terminals, and depots continued to operate without disruptions.
