many thanks

If you have just come down the Kiel Canal from Kiel, you should have plenty of fuel and, I assume, a full load out of torps. So you don't need to top up anything.
AN56 is "just in the neighborhood" for even a IID... keep your speed down (make your turns for 7-8 knts, except in tactical situations), and you have enough fuel now to stay out there for 30+ days.
If you do "friendly port" anywhere before you get to your assigned zone, you will lose the original patrol assignment, and the renown for arriving & patrolling the assigned zone. Your new assigned zone will be "Null." Naturally, you can continue out and sink ships for renown, but you will gain no renown for proceeding to your original assignment.
