# High-Risk Area (HRA) / Piracy Routing

The routes in Dataloy Distances are automatically avoiding the JWC HRA area in the gulf of Aden / Somali Cost. **Nine war risk/piracy** routing points have been added to the DDT to retrieve the most accurate distance based on current routing advice in high risk areas. The piracy routing points are not added by default, and must be manually added and only *by* using their respective routing code. Each routing point is defined by a unique code and name.
