Conditional Areas

Conditional areas can be set on default or voyage specific level. A limited number of no go areas are enabled by default. The most common areas are already added in the API and can be found here. This way you can find the area ID which can be inserted included in requests.  In a voyage

RouteNetwork

DTN uses a RouteNetwork (in partnership with ChartWorld). The Route Network is a worldwide network of waypoints and leg-lines; it provides for tracks within Restricted Routing Areas and allows to implement own routing and optimization strategies in Unrestricted Routing Areas. Diverse Data Sources: It leverages a variety of sources: Bathymetry Charts Sailing Directions NavAreaWarnings T&P Notices

Implementation Advice by DTN

Our advice for true weather optimization is to only supply a departure (start) and destination (end) point for best optimization results. If only the departure (start) and destination (end) is provided, the algorithm will fully optimize the route.  Provide accurate beam, LOA, and draft measurements of the vessel For safe and correct navigation output, it’s

Vessel Routing API Implementation

Introduction Below is a short example of how to implement the Vessel Routing API. This example is written for Node.js, but can easily be translated into other programming languages. The complete API specification can be found here. Technical Description To use the Vessel Routing API, you will take the following steps: Request a JWT access

2. How to – Import SPOS Noon Report configuration file

The SPOS Noon configuration file (*.rcfg) which will help you send your voyage updates / noon reports to DTN and addressees like your office. If your ship has been signed up for Fleetguard services and reporting  via SPOS, you will also receive the SPOS Noon configuration file (*.rcfg) which will help you send your voyage

3. How to configure for HTTP(S)

SPOS has the option to collect the weather updates you have selected in the Weather Subscription dialogue and patches to the software, automatically from DTN servers. The files are downloaded when you press ‘Update Forecast’, or at program start up and/or selected time intervals (to be configured via Update Options). SPOS uses standard http port
