Vessel Messages & Map: The blue line is drawn linking the Vessel Messages from crew and disregarding if they go through land. VMS will not validate the coordinates coming in the messages. However, there is a very quick override that can be done. The newly saved data is what gets plotted and we also retain the original data so it is clear it was updated by a shore-side operator and not coming from the vessel. The red route is the one coming from AtoBviaC, which is a commonly used distance engine. The biggest problem with this engine is that it uses an Aframax for modeling the routes. Aframaxes are BIG ships, so they can’t go close to the shore.
