Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KUK DONG 1 HO and SUNGJIN ACE) maintained close proximity (min 51m, avg 66m) for 71 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.2 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.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (SUNGJIN ACE and HAE WON) maintained close proximity (min 39m, avg 52m) for 52 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.3 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 82/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (SUNGJIN ACE and WOOWONHO) maintained close proximity (min 38m, avg 65m) for 77 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 72/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KUKDONG3HO and SUNGJIN ACE) maintained close proximity (min 54m, avg 60m) for 30 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.4 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.

Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.2 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."
