Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (DMITRIY RULEVSKIY and ABIGAIL) maintained close proximity (min 14m, avg 15m) for 38 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 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: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (DMITRIY RULEVSKIY and KORD ARCTIC) maintained close proximity (min 198m, avg 200m) 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 Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ABIGAIL and DMITRIY RULEVSKIY) maintained close proximity (min 96m, avg 100m) for 136 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: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (SOLSTRAUM and DMITRIY RULEVSKIY) maintained close proximity (min 162m, avg 167m) 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 Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and DMITRIY RULEVSKIY) maintained close proximity (min 189m, avg 191m) for 86 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: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (DMITRIY RULEVSKIY and SOLSTRAUM) maintained close proximity (min 155m, avg 165m) for 195 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: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (DMITRIY RULEVSKIY and SOLSTRAUM) maintained close proximity (min 159m, avg 164m) for 132 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: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (DMITRIY RULEVSKIY and SOLSTRAUM) maintained close proximity (min 157m, avg 164m) for 370 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 (ABIGAIL and DMITRIY RULEVSKIY) maintained close proximity (min 29m, avg 34m) for 51 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.
