English term or phrase: vessel loitering

agree  Daryo: qui traîne // "qui rôde" would be "prowling" - not the same, implies far more predatory intent.

neutral  Daryo: if you put it that way, you are presuming with certainty that they are up to no good for sure which IS NOT implied in the ST otherwise they would jump on them without any further ado - "loitering" is just potentially suspicious.

Notes to answerer
Asker: 52,200 results is definitely very meaningful as far as I'm concerned. The answer is certainly a valid one.

Reference: loitering

Reference information:
loiter
v. to linger or hang around in a public place or business where one has no particular or legal purpose. In many states, cities, and towns there are statutes or ordinances against loitering by which the police can arrest someone who refuses to "move along." There is a question as to whether such laws are constitutional. However, there is often another criminal statute or ordinance which can be applied specifically to control aggressive begging, soliciting prostitution, drug dealing, blocking entries to stores, public drunkenness, or being a public nuisance.
