On May 10, the 7,000 TEU container ship MSC Antonia ran aground near the Eliza Shoals south of Jeddah Port in the Red Sea.

Although MSC has not publicly confirmed GNSS spoofing as the cause, multiple independent analyses suggest that Antonia’s grounding likely resulted from deliberate interference.

Windward’s Q1 2025 maritime risk report noted a surge in spoofing events in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
