Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 13m) for 387 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 13m) for 385 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 255m, avg 258m) for 105 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 (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 13m) for 385 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 13m) for 384 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 13m) for 388 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 13m) for 393 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 (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 13m) for 392 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 8m, avg 13m) for 388 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 (FLAGMAN and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 255m, avg 257m) for 78 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 255m, avg 257m) for 254 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 9m, avg 13m) for 393 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 9m, avg 13m) for 390 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 (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 9m, avg 13m) for 392 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.
