Confidence Analysis
Low-confidence STS candidate – may warrant review. Two tankers (CAMINERO and VELES) maintained close proximity (min 476m, avg 482m) 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 Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Low-confidence STS candidate – may warrant review. Two tankers (VELES and CAMINERO) maintained close proximity (min 466m, avg 482m) for 40 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 Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (CAMINERO and VELES) maintained close proximity (min 477m, avg 484m) for 51 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 Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Moderate-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (VELES and CAMINERO) maintained close proximity (min 456m, avg 477m) for 346 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis
Low-confidence STS candidate – may warrant review. Two tankers (CAMINERO and VELES) maintained close proximity (min 493m, avg 495m) for 39 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area.

"summary": "Low-confidence STS candidate - may warrant review. Two tankers (CAMINERO and VELES) maintained close proximity (min 493m, avg 495m) for 39 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.1 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Bosphorus\/Dardanelles Approach, a known STS activity area."
