Summary

Headline: AIS playback from western Russian parts of Gulf of Finland, from the time of confiscated GREEN ADMIRE casting off till now.

Short Summary: AIS/GPS spoofing event causes tankers to reroute from Russian to Estonian waters in the Gulf of Finland.

Description

AIS playback data from the Gulf of Finland shows apparent GPS-spoofing affecting vessel traffic, particularly tankers such as the previously confiscated GREEN ADMIRE. The spoofing is non-discriminatory and creates position chaos, resulting in tanker captains being expected to avoid Russian waters and instead navigate more difficult Estonian waters.

Quotes

AIS playback from western Russian parts of Gulf of Finland, from the time of confiscated GREEN ADMIRE casting off till now.
GPS-spoofing apparent and non-discriminatory.
It is with this position-chaos tanker captains are expected to avoid RFI waters and navigate much trickier Estonian waters.
illustration of tanker route through Russian waters (the praxis until yesterday) and the alternative more tricky routes.
And just like that, GREEN ADMIRE seem to have been released. I suppose the message has been delivered.
