Confidence Analysis

Score: 93/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GAZ VENTURE and GAZ EXPLORER) maintained close proximity (min 15m, avg 26m) for 254 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.7 and 0.7 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 93/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GAZ VENTURE and GAZ EXPLORER) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 28m) for 291 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.8 and 0.8 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 93/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GAZ EXPLORER and GAZ VENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 9m, avg 38m) for 129 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.8 and 0.8 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 93/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (GAZ EXPLORER and GAZ VENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 9m, avg 33m) for 367 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.6 and 0.6 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (JIRISAN EXPLORER and GAZ VENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 46m, avg 62m) for 31 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (JIRISAN EXPLORER and GAZ VENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 27m, avg 66m) for 147 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.6 and 0.6 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (JIRISAN EXPLORER and GAZ VENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 11m, avg 57m) for 85 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 1.2 and 1.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 87/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (JIRISAN EXPLORER and GAZ VENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 11m, avg 60m) for 322 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 1.2 and 1.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 87/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (JIRISAN EXPLORER and GAZ VENTURE) maintained close proximity (min 11m, avg 61m) for 393 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 1.2 and 1.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Laconian Gulf STS Zone, a known STS activity area.
