The Dataloy Distances routes automatically avoid the JWC HRA area in the Gulf of Aden / Somali Coast. 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 only using their respective routing code. A unique code and name define each routing point.
Routing point searches can be performed in two ways: in the search field or by using a map.
To locate the routing point on the map:
If ports are not shown on the map, click on the Show ports button
Locate and click on or hover over (with the cursor) the routing point symbol
An information pop-up opens, providing the routing point/port name and/or code and details.
Enter the routing point name or code in the search field to the right.
A drop-down list of ports will be displayed.
From the list, either
click the applicable routing point/port or
when the routing point/port is at the top of the list, press the Tab key - the routing point/port name will display in full in the search field or
use the down arrow to select the applicable routing point/port - it will highlight it.
Click Add or press Enter. The routing point/port is added to the route. Note: If applicable, drag the newly added routing point to the correct place in the list of routing points/ports.
Ensure the route is updated accordingly by verifying the sailing route.
