In November 2018, a vessel got hit by a GPS interference near the Port of Haifa in Israel. The vessel experienced erratic signals. GPS-guided autonomous cranes were unable to operate, meaning the ports had to revert to manual methods of loading and unloading cargo. It is who is behind these GPS interferences.
