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).

Long Description

Common Routing Points

Routing points can be defined as specific locations that a vessel pass through when en route between port calls and are used in Dataloy VMS when scheduling voyage rotation. Each routing point is defined by a unique code and name. When entering a routing point into the voyage calculation, only the routing point code can be used.

Canal Passages

Canals are routing points that will by default show as a separate port call in the port rotation in order to address the time and cost involved with canal passages directly to the canal. 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. 

Available canal passages in Dataloy VMS:

Bosporus CanalBO
Corinth CanalCC
Kiel CanalKC
Magellan StraitMA
Panama CanalPC
Suez Canal SC

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.
