Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 252m, avg 254m) for 65 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 (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 252m, avg 254m) for 93 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 ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 254m, avg 255m) for 53 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 ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 252m, avg 255m) for 53 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 ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 253m, avg 254m) for 53 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 (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 252m, avg 254m) for 114 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 ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 260m, avg 262m) for 54 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

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 8m, avg 11m) for 39 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: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 6m, avg 11m) for 96 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 (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 260m, avg 262m) for 115 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 ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 260m, avg 262m) for 176 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 ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 260m, avg 262m) for 176 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 (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 11m, avg 13m) for 31 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.
