Confidence Analysis

Score: 60/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (BASILIS L and LADYBUG) maintained close proximity (min 311m, avg 312m) 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 60/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (BASILIS L and LADYBUG) maintained close proximity (min 312m, avg 313m) 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (LADYBUG and BASILIS L) maintained close proximity (min 311m, avg 313m) 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 Eastern Mediterranean Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (LADYBUG and BASILIS L) maintained close proximity (min 311m, avg 313m) for 243 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.

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (BASILIS L and LADYBUG) maintained close proximity (min 311m, avg 314m) for 78 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 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 (LADYBUG and CAMARO) maintained close proximity (min 72m, avg 77m) for 264 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: 65/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (LADYBUG and SARIYAH) maintained close proximity (min 337m, avg 339m) for 54 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: 77/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (SARIYAH and LADYBUG) maintained close proximity (min 323m, avg 337m) for 212 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 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 (LADYBUG and CAMARO) maintained close proximity (min 72m, avg 75m) for 223 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 (LADYBUG and CAMARO) maintained close proximity (min 72m, avg 76m) for 289 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.

        "summary": "High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (LADYBUG and CAMARO) maintained close proximity (min 72m, avg 76m) for 358 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."
