Confidence Analysis

Score: 92/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 12m, avg 48m) for 162 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 37m) for 391 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.2 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.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAESAR and KASTOS I) maintained close proximity (min 7m, avg 38m) for 389 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (KASTOS I and CAESAR) maintained close proximity (min 26m, avg 41m) for 391 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 67/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (E PIONEER and CAESAR) maintained close proximity (min 16m, avg 46m) for 39 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.5 and 0.6 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 (E PIONEER and CAESAR) maintained close proximity (min 16m, avg 40m) for 267 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
