Step 1:

Search for the ship you want to create a route with using the search bar, type its name and then select the ship from search results by clicking on it.

Step 2:

After selecting the ship from your search results, ShipAtlas will navigate to the ship's current position, and the ship information card will appear at the left side of your screen.

To create a sea route from the ship's live AIS position, click the blue button named "Actions", located at the top-right side of the ship information card, and then click on "Create route" option. A new screen will appear.

Step 3:

After clicking the blue button named "Actions", a new screen will appear. Then, click on the empty field under the ship's name and search for the port by typing its name or LOCODE. Once the port appears in the search results, click on it to add it as a destination point for the route.

You can add multiple ports within your route and adjust the speed, if needed, to see how it affects the ETA and other voyage details. However, if you do not change the speed settings, ship's current speed will be taken into consideration for time calculations.

After adding the port, the route will be generated automatically. If it doesn't load immediately, please wait a moment and it will appear.Details about the route will be displayed in the information card on the left side of the screen, and the generated route on the map will be shown in green.

You can adjust the route by clicking and dragging any point in the route to your desired position.
