War Risk/Piracy Routing
Short Description
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 always be manually added and only using their respective routing code. Each routing point is defined by a unique code and name.
