Working Group on “Automatic Identification System (AIS) spoofing”

The High-Level Steering Group for Governance of the Digital Maritime System and Services (HLSG) has taken a significant step forward in enhancing maritime security, adopting the Terms of Reference of a dedicated Working Group on “Automatic Identification System (AIS) spoofing”.

Member States have nominated experts to join this initiative, and the Working Group convened its second meeting in a hybrid mode on 19 November in Lisbon.

Participants shared insights and best practices for detecting and assessing AIS spoofing, as well as GPS and GNSS jamming, aiming at strengthening resilience against these growing threats. 

This collaboration underscores the importance of collective action from all stakeholders to protect maritime operations and ensure the reliability of critical digital systems at sea.
