Maersk faces a $200m-$300m bill for the cyber attack which wreaked havoc on its systems. In this Reuters article, chief Soren Skou notes investment in the company to minimise disruption from other possible cyber attacks, but said he did not believe the line lost customers.

Mr Skou told Reuters: “Container shipping fundamentals are at their best since 2010.”
