Mystery Ships Disrupting GPS in the Baltic Sea—Here’s How

A shocking new study reveals that moving ships—not land-based sources—are likely behind GPS jamming in the Baltic Sea. The findings raise serious security concerns.

Researchers monitored GPS interference for six months, detecting disruptions up to 20 nautical miles offshore. But where was the signal coming from?

Patterns showed the interference wasn’t stationary—it moved. This suggests powerful jamming devices may be installed on ships, possibly linked to Russia’s “shadow fleet.”

The disruptions intensified in October, lasting up to seven hours at a time. Some ships experienced navigation errors of up to 35 meters, a major risk in narrow waterways.

The interference affected multiple satellite systems, making standard GPS tracking unreliable. Experts now say ground-based monitoring is crucial to pinpoint the sources.

Without action, these disruptions could threaten maritime navigation, port security, and regional stability. The risks are mounting.

Researchers urge immediate intervention. Real-time monitoring is needed to stop this growing threat before it leads to maritime disasters.
