Confidence Analysis

Score: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (JINSUNG and KUKDONG3HO) maintained close proximity (min 43m, avg 55m) for 40 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 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: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (JINSUNG and KUKDONG3HO) maintained close proximity (min 34m, avg 53m) for 244 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 Strait of Gibraltar Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
