Confidence Analysis
High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (AKAR WEST and HIGH FREEDOM) maintained close proximity (min 5m, avg 7m) for 156 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
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and AKAR WEST) maintained close proximity (min 1m, avg 1m) for 32 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.
