# High-Risk Area (HRA) / Piracy Routing

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.
