Confidence Analysis

Score: 77/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 186m, avg 225m) for 60 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 186m, avg 227m) for 123 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 FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 211m, avg 269m) for 157 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: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 186m, avg 227m) for 184 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: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 186m, avg 227m) for 214 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 270m, avg 272m) 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 Prigorodnoye/Sakhalin LNG, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 205m, avg 227m) for 46 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 197m, avg 267m) for 380 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 205m, avg 230m) for 172 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 197m, avg 268m) for 369 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 205m, avg 230m) for 231 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 205m, avg 230m) for 274 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 197m, avg 267m) for 389 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 205m, avg 230m) for 358 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 (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 205m, avg 230m) for 358 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.
