Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 203m, avg 205m) for 371 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 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 203m, avg 209m) for 317 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 60/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 407m, avg 408m) for 56 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 Sakhalin South Approach, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 407m, avg 408m) for 116 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 175 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 239 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 298 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 317 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 55/100

Low-confidence STS candidate - may warrant review. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 402m, avg 404m) for 33 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 55/100

Low-confidence STS candidate - may warrant review. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 401m, avg 403m) for 44 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 77/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 357m, avg 400m) for 122 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.
