Corrections

Milesandpallets is committed to accuracy. When an error is identified in our reference pages, our policy is to correct it transparently rather than remove the content. A substantively corrected article will carry a dated note at its foot stating that a correction was made, detailing the nature of the amendment. This ensures the historical record is clear. Minor typographical errors or formatting issues are fixed without such a note, as they do not alter the factual content or analysis presented.

A substantive correction addresses a factual inaccuracy that changes a reader’s understanding of the material. Examples include an incorrect port throughput statistic, a misstated carrier service frequency, or an erroneous current rate for a defined trade lane. We distinguish this from minor presentational edits or updates that reflect new, subsequent developments in the market, which are part of our normal editorial process.

Readers can report a potential error by contacting us. To facilitate a swift review, please provide the full web address of the article in question and quote the exact claim you believe requires correction. Vague references or general alerts delay the process. We will investigate all such reports and respond directly to the reader who raised the issue.

Our aim is to review and action all legitimate correction requests within two business days. If the correction is substantiated, the amended article and explanatory note will be published promptly. If we determine a correction is not warranted, we will provide a brief explanation to the reader.

For reference pages such as those covering ports, carriers, or specific chokepoints, the world of logistics changes constantly. A correction is distinct from a routine update. We correct past inaccuracies. When new data, such as a revised terminal capacity or a changed alliance structure, supersedes old information as part of an ongoing development, we update the page accordingly and, where significant, date-stamp the change to maintain clarity for our users.
