Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and CHEM RANGER) maintained close proximity (min 55m, avg 56m) for 204 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 Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXCEED and YELLOW STARS) maintained close proximity (min 308m, avg 310m) for 135 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 Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 323m, avg 324m) for 84 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 Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEM RANGER and YELLOW STARS) maintained close proximity (min 62m, avg 62m) for 48 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: 65/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and NAVIG8 EXCEED) maintained close proximity (min 310m, avg 313m) for 45 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: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 324m, avg 326m) for 63 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 Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TWINKLE STAR and YELLOW STARS) maintained close proximity (min 324m, avg 325m) for 90 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 (CHEM RANGER and YELLOW STARS) maintained close proximity (min 53m, avg 57m) for 150 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 (NAVIG8 EXCEED and YELLOW STARS) maintained close proximity (min 309m, avg 310m) for 78 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.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 323m, avg 325m) for 90 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 (YELLOW STARS and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 323m, avg 326m) for 141 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and CHEM RANGER) maintained close proximity (min 53m, avg 58m) for 168 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 (YELLOW STARS and CHEM RANGER) maintained close proximity (min 53m, avg 58m) for 198 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and CHEM RANGER) maintained close proximity (min 51m, avg 56m) for 45 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: 60/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 324m, avg 326m) for 33 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: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YELLOW STARS and STI DAMA) maintained close proximity (min 63m, avg 65m) for 42 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.

        "summary": "High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (NAVIG8 EXCEED and YELLOW STARS) maintained close proximity (min 306m, avg 308m) for 188 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."
