The Shipping Routes layer is a static data layer. Shipping Routes are point-by-point lines that you can draw in, edit or remove when making a plan.
The shipping simulation takes drawn-in Shipping Routes into account in its month-by-month calculation of where the ships go when travelling from port to port.
