Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (E PIONEER and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 26m, avg 35m) for 33 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KASTOS I and E PIONEER) maintained close proximity (min 36m, avg 79m) for 40 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (E PIONEER and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 25m, avg 61m) for 177 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (E PIONEER and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 19m, avg 52m) for 291 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (E PIONEER and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 19m, avg 55m) for 352 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (E PIONEER and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 12m, avg 30m) for 163 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 92/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 12m, avg 48m) for 162 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.4 and 0.4 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 92/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 43m) for 286 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 42m) for 357 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 37m) for 392 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 38m) for 389 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 38m) for 393 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.4 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area."
