Disclaimer
Last updated 15 August 2026
The information on www.shipzume.com is published for general reference. This page explains what that means in practice.
General information only
Everything on this site is provided for general informational purposes. It does not constitute professional advice of any kind — engineering, medical, legal, financial or otherwise — and it is not a substitute for a qualified specialist who knows your circumstances.
Accuracy
Offsets and daylight saving rules are read from the IANA time zone database rather than hard-coded, so they follow the same rules your operating system uses. Governments do occasionally change their rules at short notice, and a database update can lag such an announcement by days. Even so, we cannot guarantee that every page is free of typographical or editorial error, and we make no warranty as to completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.
Safety-critical and regulated use
Do not rely on this site alone where an error could cause harm or financial loss. That includes, without limitation:
- aviation, marine or rail operations;
- legal filings, court deadlines or contractual cut-off times;
- medical appointments and medication schedules across zones;
- financial settlement and trading cut-offs;
- examination start times and other one-chance deadlines.
In those situations verify the figure against the governing standard, specification or professional adviser.
External links
We link to external sites we believe are useful. We do not control them, we do not monitor their changes, and we accept no responsibility for their content, accuracy or availability. Following an external link is at your own risk.
Advertising
This site is funded by advertising served by third parties. We do not select individual advertisements, and their presence is not a recommendation. Any dealings you have with an advertiser are between you and them.
No liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ShipZume Media Ltd accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, the information published here.
Reporting an error
If you find a mistake we want to know. Email hello@shipzume.com with the page address and the figure you believe is wrong. Confirmed corrections are normally published within a week, as set out in our editorial policy.
