A global IT outage, caused by a software update from American cybersecurity technology company CrowdStrike, has prompted disruptions in several European container terminals, including Poland’s Baltic Hub, UK’s port of Felixstowe and the Dutch port of Rotterdam.
Baltic Hub informed that on the morning of July 19, the terminal was affected by difficulties caused by an operating systems failure.
“The failure was global in nature and involved a third-party software provider used by Baltic Hub,” noted Baltic Hub Container Terminal, which said the operation of most systems has been restored.
