Confidence Analysis

Score: 60/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 408m) for 57 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: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 377 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 (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 382 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 405m, avg 409m) for 271 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 (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) 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: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 380 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 (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 379 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 (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 406m, avg 409m) for 386 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 (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 407m, avg 409m) 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.

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 408m, avg 409m) for 160 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: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 407m, avg 408m) for 379 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: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 382m, avg 406m) for 300 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.
