Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to WorkHarbor (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at workharbor.com and all associated maritime tools, calculators, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these terms, then you may not access the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using WorkHarbor, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

Educational Use & Verifying Results

WorkHarbor provides estimates and tools for general guidance and educational purposes only. Calculator results and technical information on the Service are informational and may be incomplete or out of date, and the Service is not a substitute for approved passage planning, official tonnage and stability calculations, safe-manning and rest-hour requirements, or a maritime administration’s ruling on sea-service. Vessels, voyages, cargoes, and conditions differ. By using the Service, you agree to treat results as general educational content rather than a guarantee, and to verify every safety- or certification-critical figure with the ship’s officers, your company, the classification society, and your maritime administration before you rely on it. All content on this site is general educational content only and is NOT professional navigation, engineering, safety, legal, or certification advice; results vary.

• Ship tonnage calculator

• Use the tools in good faith for legitimate learning and planning purposes

Defer to the Ship and the Authorities

You are responsible for using your own professional judgment, and for deferring to the ship’s master and officers, your company, the classification society, and your maritime administration, before making any decision that affects a passage, the safety of a ship, the handling of cargo, or a seafarer’s certification. Our tools are designed to assist and inform, not to replace professional judgment or approved procedures.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators are provided for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all calculations will be error-free or suitable for your specific needs. Results are simplified estimates based on standard conventions and the figures you enter; actual outcomes vary with the vessel, her loading, the weather and sea state, routeing, and the applicable rules.

No Guarantee of Results

WorkHarbor makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.

Operational & Certification Decisions

Maritime guidance is general and educational only and is not a substitute for approved passage planning, stability and loading calculations, or a maritime administration’s assessment of qualifying service. Always treat results as general guidance, not a guarantee, use your own judgment, and verify with the ship and the relevant authority before acting.
