Confidence Analysis

Score: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PACIFIC ADVENTURE and ATLAS) maintained close proximity (min 313m, avg 315m) for 66 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PACIFIC ADVENTURE and ATLAS) maintained close proximity (min 313m, avg 313m) for 69 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PACIFIC ADVENTURE and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 61m, avg 65m) 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PACIFIC ADVENTURE and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 61m, avg 65m) for 108 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PACIFIC ADVENTURE and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 60m, avg 65m) for 240 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PACIFIC ADVENTURE and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 55m, avg 61m) 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ATLAS and PACIFIC ADVENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 310m, avg 316m) for 98 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARDMORE ENTERPRISE and PACIFIC ADVENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 61m, avg 63m) for 220 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (PACIFIC ADVENTURE and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 60m, avg 64m) for 300 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 Southern Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Zone, a known STS activity area.
