Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AVANTI and CAMARO) maintained close proximity (min 292m, avg 295m) for 246 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AVANTI and OCEAN MARINER) maintained close proximity (min 76m, avg 76m) for 132 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AVANTI and LADYBUG) maintained close proximity (min 317m, avg 321m) for 162 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AVANTI and LADYBUG) maintained close proximity (min 317m, avg 324m) for 354 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (LADYBUG and AVANTI) maintained close proximity (min 323m, avg 326m) for 132 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AVANTI and LADYBUG) maintained close proximity (min 324m, avg 326m) for 120 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
