Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and AZOV) 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: 72/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 11m, avg 20m) for 34 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: 72/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 11m, avg 20m) for 34 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 Sakhalin South Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FLAGMAN and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 10m, avg 17m) for 90 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 (FLAGMAN and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 10m, avg 16m) 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: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 10m, avg 13m) for 72 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 135 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 135 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 12m) for 192 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 12m) for 200 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 12m) for 200 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 8m, avg 11m) for 74 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 (FLAGMAN and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 10m, avg 12m) for 237 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 (FLAGMAN and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 10m, avg 12m) for 270 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 12m) 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 9m, avg 12m) for 236 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 8m, avg 12m) for 293 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.
