Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) have received advice that the National Coordination Mechanism, together with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), convened yesterday (Saturday 11 November 2023) to consider and address impacts arising from the DP World Australia cyber incident.
National Cyber Security Coordinator:
“This interruption is likely to continue for a number of days and will impact the movement of goods into and out of the country. DP World Australia is working with its stakeholders to consider the impacts on its operations at specific ports.
FTA is leading the national response to this incident and has been engaged on this since Friday evening (10 November 2023), when we were notified of the incident.
Our priority is to assist DP World Australia to resolve the incident, so they are in a position to restore access to the ports they operate across the country.
The Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) is engaged with DP World Australia and is providing technical advice and assistance. The Australian Federal Police has commenced an investigation into the incident.
In parallel, FTA / APSA have today (Sunday 12 November 2023) made another request to DP World seeking details of Business Continuity Plans in the now likely event of this being an extended systems outage.
Updates will be posted on the FTA / APSA website
