A shipping route is a path that ships take to travel from one place to another. The most common type of shipping route is a seaway, which is a navigable body of water such as an ocean or a river. A LANE is a narrow strip of water between two larger bodies of water, such as a channel or a bay. A STRAIT is a narrow passage of water connecting two larger bodies of water, such as a sea and an ocean. A sealane is a combination of a seaway and a LANE, which is a navigable body of water with a narrow strip of water between two larger bodies of water.
