Calling all Maritime Operators and Navigators!

The Royal Institute of Navigation is launching a working group to investigate and report on the effects, mitigations and solutions to GNSS jamming and spoofing in the maritime sector.

We need your help in gathering the information we need to conduct this study. Interference have been pervasive for years now in areas such as the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. In the Strait of Hormuz alone, almost 1000 ships per day experience GNSS interference, impacting crew safety and the security of their cargo. Collisions and groundings are a very real threat, with the Frontier Eagle and MSC Antonia accidents being the most recent examples.

For those of you familiar with the OPSGROUP report into GPS spoofing in the aviation sector  we will be producing a similar piece of work, but focussed on the Maritime domain. If you want to join the Working Group, and help to compile and write the report, we encourage you to do the following:

• join our discord channel
• share your insights by completing this survey

Please share this widely in the Maritime network - the more mariners we can reach with direct experience of the issues caused by GNSS interference, the better.
