Vessel information
Detected Events (4)
- Minimum Distance: 442 meters
- Average Distance: 449 meters
- Duration: 3h 33m
- Period: 2026-09-09T07:08:08+00:00 to 2026-09-09T10:41:11+00:00
- Vessel A Avg Speed: 0.3 knots
- Vessel B Avg Speed: 0.4 knots
- Zone: Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach
Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PAVEL YUDIN and NARVA) maintained close proximity (min 442m, avg 449m) for 213 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.4 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.
