Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 408m, avg 412m) for 312 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 409m, avg 412m) 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 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 218m, avg 222m) 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05) maintained close proximity (min 409m, avg 412m) for 233 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 409m, avg 412m) 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: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ZAPRAVSHCHIK 05 and AZOV) maintained close proximity (min 408m, avg 411m) for 396 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 408m, avg 411m) for 389 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 408m, avg 411m) for 378 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 408m, avg 411m) 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 214m, avg 222m) 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: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 214m, avg 222m) 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AZOV and FLAGMAN) maintained close proximity (min 214m, avg 222m) 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.
