How to Use Piracy Routing?

Question

When using Dataloy Distance Table (DDT) or creating port rotations in Dataloy VMS, piracy routing is not automatically considered. Why? How can the piracy routing feature be utislised?

Answer

To date, nine piracy routing points have been added to retrieve the most accurate distance based on current routing advice in high risk areas. This is as a direct result of the piracy in the Gulf Of Aden and Indian Ocean. The anti-piracy routing points are, however, NOT by default added to a voyage calculation by default. They must be manually added using the routing point code. More information: Piracy.
