Vessel information
Detected Events (100)
- Minimum Distance: 486 meters
- Average Distance: 489 meters
- Duration: 1h 12m
- Period: 2026-11-01T10:58:22+00:00 to 2026-11-01T12:10:35+00:00
- Vessel A Avg Speed: 0.0 knots
- Vessel B Avg Speed: 0.0 knots
- Zone: Cape Town Surveillance Zone
Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ILITHA and CHASE OCEAN) maintained close proximity (min 486m, avg 489m) for 72 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 Cape Town Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHASE OCEAN and ILITHA) maintained close proximity (min 486m, avg 490m) 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 Cape Town Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ILITHA and CHASE OCEAN) maintained close proximity (min 478m, avg 488m) for 96 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 Cape Town Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ILITHA and CHASE OCEAN) maintained close proximity (min 486m, avg 491m) for 99 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHASE OCEAN and ILITHA) maintained close proximity (min 486m, avg 492m) for 62 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ILITHA and FEW BPS) maintained close proximity (min 387m, avg 395m) for 105 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ILITHA and FEW BPS) maintained close proximity (min 385m, avg 393m) for 327 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FEW BPS and ILITHA) maintained close proximity (min 377m, avg 390m) 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (FEW BPS and ILITHA) maintained close proximity (min 379m, avg 390m) for 147 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (ILITHA and FEW BPS) maintained close proximity (min 355m, avg 389m) for 288 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Low-confidence STS candidate - may warrant review. Two tankers (ATLANTIC NARVAL and ILITHA) maintained close proximity (min 489m, avg 494m) for 36 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 Mid-Atlantic Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
