Confidence Analysis

Score: 65/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 298m, avg 299m) for 36 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 298m, avg 299m) for 155 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 290m, avg 292m) for 156 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 289m, avg 291m) for 264 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 298m, avg 299m) for 272 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Sakhalin South Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 289m, avg 292m) for 309 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Sakhalin South Approach, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 297m, avg 299m) for 387 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 297m, avg 299m) for 365 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 297m, avg 299m) for 137 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 289m, avg 292m) for 357 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 289m, avg 292m) for 357 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 Sakhalin South Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 289m, avg 291m) for 75 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 297m, avg 299m) for 375 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.
