Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEONGHAE3HO and KUK DONG 1 HO) maintained close proximity (min 40m, avg 48m) for 36 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 Strait of Gibraltar Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

- Zone: Strait of Gibraltar Surveillance Zone
Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEONGHAE3HO and KUK DONG 1 HO) maintained close proximity (min 20m, avg 68m) for 196 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.1 knots). Moderate distance variation observed during the encounter. Event occurred in Strait of Gibraltar Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
