Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEONGHAE3HO and MUSUNG) maintained close proximity (min 6m, avg 14m) for 36 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.0 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 (MUSUNG and CHEONGHAE3HO) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 16m) for 233 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 89/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEONGHAE3HO and KUK DONG 1 HO) maintained close proximity (min 20m, avg 50m) for 180 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: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEONGHAE3HO and STELLA HO) maintained close proximity (min 40m, avg 45m) for 61 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEONGHAE3HO and STELLA HO) maintained close proximity (min 10m, avg 43m) for 120 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 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: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEONGHAE3HO and NO.7 HAEGU) maintained close proximity (min 40m, avg 56m) for 87 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.
