DP World Australia, a unit of the Dubai state-owned DP World, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
Darren Goldie, the government’s Cyber Security Coordinator, said the operator was making “good progress” at bringing its sites back online.
“The company’s advice… was that this would be the case of days, not weeks,” Mr Goldie told ABC Radio.
He added that the government had not yet identified the perpetrators of the cyber-attack, which caused the firm to disconnect its ports from the internet.
DP World said it halted internet connectivity at its ports on Friday to prevent “any ongoing unauthorised access” to its network.
