Norma M Krayem is a Senor Policy Advisor and J Michael Cavanaugh is a Partner both in our Washington DC office.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Global cybersecurity attacks have steadily increased in the past few months, effectively shutting down major ocean carriers and impacting marine terminal operations around the globe, most recently hitting transportation and maritime entities such as Maersk and its marine terminal affiliate APMT, the Port of Rotterdam, India's largest container port JNPT and terminals in the United States. Cybersecurity risks impact all aspects of the maritime sector: ports, port operators, major carriers, terminals, logistics services providers, and shippers and their supply chains.
