High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CYCLONE and GURU) maintained close proximity (min 40m, avg 46m) for 47 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CYCLONE and GURU) maintained close proximity (min 39m, avg 46m) for 243 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CYCLONE and GURU) maintained close proximity (min 39m, avg 46m) for 359 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GURU and CYCLONE) maintained close proximity (min 28m, avg 41m) for 352 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CYCLONE and GURU) maintained close proximity (min 38m, avg 43m) for 323 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CYCLONE and GURU) maintained close proximity (min 39m, avg 45m) for 394 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GURU and CYCLONE) maintained close proximity (min 14m, avg 44m) for 73 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GURU and CYCLONE) maintained close proximity (min 40m, avg 43m) for 36 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GURU and CYCLONE) maintained close proximity (min 33m, avg 45m) for 168 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 Eastern Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
