Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NOSTOS and MANTA BEYLERBEYI) maintained close proximity (min 421m, avg 453m) for 123 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 55/100

Low-confidence STS candidate - may warrant review. Two tankers (NOSTOS and MANTA BEYLERBEYI) maintained close proximity (min 492m, avg 495m) 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 Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 60/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NOSTOS and MANTA BEYLERBEYI) maintained close proximity (min 482m, avg 493m) for 54 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 Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 65/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (MANTA BEYLERBEYI and NOSTOS) maintained close proximity (min 487m, avg 491m) for 84 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 55/100

Low-confidence STS candidate - may warrant review. Two tankers (MANTA BEYLERBEYI and NOSTOS) maintained close proximity (min 480m, avg 490m) for 39 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area."

Confidence Analysis

Score: 60/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NOSTOS and MANTA BEYLERBEYI) maintained close proximity (min 335m, avg 372m) for 39 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (MANTA BEYLERBEYI and NOSTOS) maintained close proximity (min 352m, avg 391m) for 276 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NOSTOS and MANTA BEYLERBEYI) maintained close proximity (min 370m, avg 414m) for 150 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 Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.
