Persian Gulf Ships Show True Locations as Signal Jamming Eases

The true location of ships trapped in the Persian Gulf is becoming clearer after electronic interference of signals eased over the weekend, helping to reduce concerns about navigating vessels in the war-affected region.

While threats to ships in the inland sea and the Strait of Hormuz remain elevated, the widespread jamming that obscured the actual location of vessels has moderated in the gulf, the Joint Maritime Information Center said in its latest advisory. The interference means shipowners are often in the dark about the exact location of their fleet, adding legal and insurance risks.
