Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KORSAKOV and VANINO) maintained close proximity (min 21m, avg 23m) for 56 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga Terminal Complex, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VANINO and KORSAKOV) maintained close proximity (min 14m, avg 22m) for 164 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga Terminal Complex, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VANINO and KORSAKOV) maintained close proximity (min 14m, avg 21m) for 391 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga Terminal Complex, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KORSAKOV and VANINO) maintained close proximity (min 15m, avg 21m) for 364 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga Terminal Complex, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KORSAKOV and VANINO) maintained close proximity (min 15m, avg 21m) for 395 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga Terminal Complex, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KORSAKOV and VANINO) maintained close proximity (min 15m, avg 21m) for 393 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga Terminal Complex, a known STS activity area.
