Confidence Analysis

Score: 75/100

Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (DENEB and MARATHON) maintained close proximity (min 36m, avg 41m) for 38 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 Black Sea Sanctioned Vessel Monitoring Zone, a known STS activity area.
