Confidence Analysis

Score: 79/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 155m, avg 208m) for 150 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.9 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 261m, avg 264m) for 254 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 260m, avg 264m) for 196 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 72/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 262m, avg 268m) for 80 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARIES and ARCTICA) maintained close proximity (min 247m, avg 263m) for 141 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 258m, avg 260m) for 166 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 232m, avg 257m) for 290 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 65/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and SOLSTRAUM) maintained close proximity (min 318m, avg 321m) for 47 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VOLGONEFT 128 and ARCTICA) maintained close proximity (min 80m, avg 86m) for 53 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/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and SOLSTRAUM) maintained close proximity (min 311m, avg 320m) for 301 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.
