Clusters containing dozens of vessels each appear to signal positions in and around the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that electronic interference and GPS jamming have soared at the critical oil chokepoint that’s effectively blocked for tanker traffic for more than a week now.
At least a dozen such clusters, some of which numbering more than 200 ships in unnaturally perfect shapes, appear on vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, pointing to intensified interference with positioning signals as the war in the Middle East continues.
The GPS jamming is the latest in a series of concerns for shippers and vessel owners who have been unable to have ships cross either side of the Strait of Hormuz for more than a week, choking global oil and gas supplies and sending energy commodity prices soaring.
“Any vessel navigating the area clearly can’t rely on GPS,” Mark Douglas, a maritime-domain analyst at Starboard Maritime Intelligence, told Bloomberg.
Analysts say that both Iran and the U.S. could be using Global Navigation Satellite System or GPS jamming tools in the region.
“Due to operations security we are not going to comment on the status of specific capabilities in the region,” the U.S. Department of War told the BBC, approached to comment on the GPS jamming.
