Confidence Analysis

Score: 65/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (SHENZHEN and AURO) maintained close proximity (min 455m, avg 468m) for 63 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Yosu, South Korea STS Zone, a known STS activity area.
