Confidence Analysis

Score: 56/100

Low-confidence STS candidate - may warrant review. Two tankers (TWINKLE STAR and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 323m, avg 344m) for 58 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 77/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 305m, avg 313m) for 144 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 6m, avg 305m) for 320 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 92/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 6m, avg 306m) for 377 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 92/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 6m, avg 306m) for 389 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARDMORE ENTERPRISE and YANBU) maintained close proximity (min 300m, avg 313m) for 117 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 Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 64/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ARDMORE ENTERPRISE and NAVIG8 EXPRESS) maintained close proximity (min 68m, avg 96m) for 42 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.6 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXPRESS and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 66m, avg 74m) for 199 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 Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXPRESS and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 66m, avg 74m) for 259 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (RINA and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 3m, avg 9m) for 36 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Unknown Maritime Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 4m, avg 12m) for 37 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Unknown Maritime Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXPRESS and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 65m, avg 70m) for 180 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXPRESS and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 65m, avg 70m) for 315 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXPRESS and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 65m, avg 70m) for 384 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXPRESS and ARDMORE ENTERPRISE) maintained close proximity (min 69m, avg 72m) for 87 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
