Transnet system remains disabled in Durban

Transnet’s system continues to be disabled in Durban, while progress has been made with limited restoration of Navis, according to the latest Maersk’s update, following a cyber attack on 22 July.

Operationally, some limited landside activities have resumed and, on the waterside, manual operations are underway.

“It is expected that some applications may continue to run slowly over the next few days, while monitoring continues,” said Transnet in a statement. “All operating systems will be brought back in a staggered manner, to minimise further risks and interruptions.”

Some Navis functionality was restored but with the important caveat, all Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) customer facing functionality remains disabled.

Additionally, South African logistics group Transnet said that a force majeure has been declared at the country’s major box terminals in Durban, Ngqura, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, which is expected to be lifted soon.

Meanwhile, the official website of Transnet remains down since 22 July, showing an error message.

Furthermore, Maersk noted that at this time exports are being accepted for reefer cargo only with the process being fully manual.

“We do not have clarity yet on when dry acceptance will open up. For units arriving by rail, it is not confirmed yet when rail stacks will open,” added the Danish shipping company.
