Corrections and data quality
If you have spotted incorrect port metadata (wrong country, wrong UN/LOCODE, wrong coordinates), incorrect vessel particulars, or a vessel-to-port association that you can demonstrate is wrong, email corrections@harborwatcher.com with a citation to an upstream source. The fastest fixes come with a Wikidata QID, an Equasis URL, an IMO entry, or a UNECE UN/LOCODE row reference. Corrections submitted without a verifiable citation are still welcome but take longer to process.
Press and research enquiries
Journalists working on stories that use Harbor Watcher as a source — whether for context, statistics, or a screenshot — are invited to email press@harborwatcher.com in advance so we can flag any data caveats relevant to your specific question. We do not require advance permission to quote the directory or screenshot it under fair-use conventions; reaching out is courtesy, not prerequisite.
Partnership and data licensing
If you are interested in a bulk export of the directory, an API integration, an embedded widget for your own site, or a custom data partnership, email partnerships@harborwatcher.com with a description of your use case. Bulk exports are not available under the standard public terms of service (see terms) but can be agreed for non-commercial research and educational use.
Reporting abuse
If you believe a deployment of Harbor Watcher is being misused — for example as part of a phishing scheme, sanctions evasion exercise, or platform abuse complaint — email abuse@harborwatcher.com with a description of the abuse and any supporting URLs or screenshots. We take abuse reports seriously and respond to credible reports within a few working days.
How to reach us
For anything not covered above, email hello@harborwatcher.com. Harbor Watcher is maintained by a small team; we read every message and aim to respond within a few business days.
