The Ports of Auckland is assuring customers it has not been directly affected by the global cyber-attack, Petaya.
Some media reports have suggested the port has been hit by the ransomware virus.
The port says it is currently working to assist one of its customers, Maersk Lines, which has been affected.
“The attack has disrupted Maersk’s normal channels of communication with ports, and we are working with them to get around this issue,” the company says.
“There will some impact on the speed with which we are able to handle Maersk containers, though at this stage we are not expecting significant delays at the port.”
