Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (EUROSTAR 4 MARIA and BALT FLOT 4) maintained close proximity (min 165m, avg 176m) for 64 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 Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (EUROSTAR 4 MARIA and BALT FLOT 4) maintained close proximity (min 165m, avg 177m) for 185 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.3 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.

        "summary": "High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (EUROSTAR 4 MARIA and BALT FLOT 4) maintained close proximity (min 165m, avg 180m) for 222 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.3 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."
