I encourage you to watch it, and here is a brief personal analysis. This webinar had an immediate merit: amid the numerous publications on the subject (particularly on LinkedIn), and although the topic is not new (especially since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine), it did not treat jamming and spoofing as a purely theoretical issue reserved for specialists, nor from a purely alarmist perspective, but as a now very real operational risk for commercial navigation.

TL,DR: The BIMCO webinar, held on the 3rd of septembre 2025, was moderated by Jakob Larsen and featured NATO MARCOM officers Eric (French Navy) and Kadir (Turkish Navy) on GPS jamming and spoofing threats to maritime operations. Eric highlighted recent incidents: Ursula von der Leyen’s aircraft disrupted by jamming in Bulgaria, the merchant vessel Green Admire spoofed near Russia, and widespread interference in the Eastern Mediterranean linked to military activity. He emphasized that GNSS disruption is now a deliberate tool of hybrid warfare, not accidental.

The BBC reports that Russia is suspected of having jammed the global GPS positioning system during a major NATO exercise called Trident Juncture. This is not particularly surprising, as it is a known Russian capability and has already been suspected of being used on several occasions. The area affected would have included Lapland and territories close to the Russian border in northern Norway.

At the end of the article, the BBC also mentions the accident involving the Norwegian frigate Helge Ingstad, which collided with an oil tanker in southern Norway, although it stops short of drawing any direct link between the two events.
