Routing Points, Canals, Piracy Routing Lists
Short Description
Currently Dataloy VMS holds more than 8,500 ports and maritime locations and more than 80,000 waypoints (or routing points) that contribute to the accuracy of a calculation. This section lists the most common routing points, all in Dataloy VMS available canals and the piracy routing points that must be entered manually (will never show in a port rotation by default).

The canal time and cost has a direct impact on the result and length of a voyage. Each canal is defined by a unique code and name.

| Canal Passages: | Code: |
|---|---|
| Bosporus Canal | BO |

Piracy Routing
To date, nine piracy routing points have been added to retrieve the most accurate distance based on current routing advice in high risk areas. The piracy routing points are not added to a voyage rotation by default, but must always be entered be manually and only using their respective piracy routing code. Each is defined by a unique code and name.
