    Hi Theodor, Thanks for your comment. It’s an interesting point you make. In fact I used AIS to measure the distance and it was AIS that used km. Our style guide tends towards the use of the metric system, as does most of the world so I believe this is the most popular measure. Though in shipping the norm appears to be miles or nautical miles. Interestingly, this story has had thousands of readers, but only one mention of the metric used. Perhaps this comment will stimulate more, but I would say, in conclusion, point noted and thanks again.
