Confidence Analysis

Score: 69/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 1m, avg 5m) for 32 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.3 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 (AETHER and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 16m, avg 49m) 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VALENTE and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 2m, avg 3m) for 56 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: 70/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEM HELEN and TRITONEA) maintained close proximity (min 29m, avg 45m) for 35 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.8 and 0.8 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 83/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEM HELEN and TRITONEA) maintained close proximity (min 22m, avg 43m) for 70 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 90/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TRITONEA and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 20m, avg 46m) for 153 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.5 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TRITONEA and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 17m, avg 41m) for 386 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.7 and 0.7 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TRITONEA and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 4m, avg 36m) for 175 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TRITONEA and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 4m, avg 35m) for 359 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TRITONEA and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 4m, avg 35m) for 389 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.2 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEM HELEN and TRITONEA) maintained close proximity (min 20m, avg 39m) for 393 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEM HELEN and TRITONEA) maintained close proximity (min 19m, avg 40m) for 395 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.4 and 0.4 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CHEM HELEN and TRITONEA) maintained close proximity (min 4m, avg 35m) for 56 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.4 and 0.7 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Discovered Hotspot discovered_256, a known STS activity area.

The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TRITONEA and CHEM HELEN) maintained close proximity (min 4m, avg 42m) for 396 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.4 and 0.3 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Gulf of Oman Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.
