We have taken measures to be able to navigate just as safely without this GPS support, says Håkan Johanson, CEO of Destination Gotland to P4 Gotland.

The number of GPS disruptions over the Baltic Sea has increased sharply, show figures from the Transport Agency. During 2025, disruptions have so far been reported on average three times a day. According to the Transport Agency, statistics, incident reports, measurements and data show that the disruptions originate from Russian territory.
