Publisher and scope
This website is published by Puzzlewhistlereel Marine Media Ltd, 9 Adelaide Road, Dublin 2, D02 H970, Ireland, company registration number 756318. These terms explain the basis on which our editorial material and local browser tools are made available. For enquiries, contact [email protected].
Information, not professional approval
Content is general educational and editorial information. It is not engineering advice, a survey report, a repair specification, a certification service, a legal opinion or a determination of seaworthiness. We do not inspect your vessel or know its condition, design, operating context or applicable requirements.
Obtain appropriate vessel-specific advice from competent personnel and the relevant authorities. Do not use this site to decide whether a vessel may operate, to set structural acceptance criteria or to bypass class, flag, safety management or other obligations. Urgent safety concerns belong in the vessel’s established reporting and response arrangements.
Accuracy and current requirements
We aim to explain the subject carefully, but material may contain errors or become outdated. Technology, standards and survey requirements change. Confirm current primary sources, editions and applicability before relying on any summary. Descriptions of possible workflows are not claims of universal approval or guaranteed performance.
Independent references
We are not affiliated with or endorsed by IMO, IACS, ISO, classification societies or other organisations mentioned unless expressly stated otherwise. Names and marks belong to their respective owners. External links are provided for context; we do not control their content, availability or privacy practices. Contextual photographs do not imply endorsement by pictured people or organisations.
Using and sharing content
Copyright in our original editorial content and site design is held by Puzzlewhistlereel Marine Media Ltd unless otherwise indicated. You may read, link to and print content for personal or internal reference. Brief quotations with attribution and a link are welcome where permitted by law. Seek permission for substantial republication, commercial redistribution or adaptations beyond applicable legal exceptions. Third-party material remains subject to its own rights.
The letter composer
The contact tool constructs text locally, copies it to your clipboard on request and creates a downloadable text file. It does not send messages, store correspondence on a server or guarantee that an email will reach us. Review the text before sharing it and use your own email application to send it. You are responsible for the information you include and for having any necessary permission to disclose it.
Acceptable use and availability
Do not attempt to compromise the site, distribute malicious material through correspondence, impersonate another person or infringe others’ rights. We may change or withdraw content and tools, or restrict abusive access. Uninterrupted availability and compatibility with every browser or device cannot be guaranteed.
Liability and legal rights
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for loss arising from reliance on general site content or from interruptions, external sites or device-specific tool behaviour. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, or limits mandatory consumer rights.
Governing law and updates
Irish law applies, subject to any mandatory protections and jurisdiction rights available to you under applicable law. We may revise these terms and identify the effective date on this page. Contact us if you need clarification about permitted use or an accessibility issue.
