Confidence Analysis

Score: 79/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 155m, avg 208m) for 150 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.9 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 261m, avg 264m) for 254 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 Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 260m, avg 264m) for 196 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 Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 260m, avg 264m) for 191 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ORENBURG and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 455m, avg 471m) for 263 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 1.4 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 262m, avg 268m) for 80 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 82/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 243m, avg 263m) for 144 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARCTICA and ARIES) maintained close proximity (min 246m, avg 260m) for 199 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 Ust-Luga/St. Petersburg Approach, a known STS activity area.
