Danish container shipping group Maersk has temporarily halted its operations at the Port of Salalah in Oman, it said, following a security incident that occurred earlier today, Reuters reports.
All Maersk crew were safe and accounted for, and no company cargo or vessels were affected, the shipping giant said in a statement.
The port was evacuated after an incident damaged a terminal crane, prompting a temporary suspension of operations across the facility.
Maersk currently estimates that operations will be halted for approximately 48 hours, it said.
