GPS Spoofing: A Growing Threat to Global Shipping
GPS Spoofing has rapidly emerged as one of the most significant navigational and operational risks facing the maritime industry today.
What is GPS spoofing? Who is carrying it out, and why? How does it affect vessel navigation, cargo operations, and marine insurance claims? Most importantly, do traditional marine insurance policy wordings and standard clauses adequately address the risks and liabilities arising from these incidents?
