Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 26m, avg 31m) for 66 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 85/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TENDUA and VAYU 1) maintained close proximity (min 23m, avg 32m) for 86 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.1 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 23m, avg 30m) for 294 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 23m, avg 29m) for 306 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 22m, avg 29m) for 57 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 22m, avg 28m) for 153 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 23m, avg 30m) for 357 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 23m, avg 30m) for 372 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 29m, avg 31m) for 375 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 27m, avg 32m) for 255 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VAYU 1 and TENDUA) maintained close proximity (min 30m, avg 32m) for 369 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 Western Black Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.
