CORRECTIONS
POLICY
Errors Get Fixed in Public. Not Deleted.
This page explains how the Fleet Intelligence Desk handles errors: how to report one, how we verify it, and how corrections are recorded on the article itself.
Our Commitment
When We Get It Wrong, We Say So — On the Article
The Fleet Intelligence Desk publishes daily on subjects where the facts move: fuel prices, legislation, court actions, tariffs. Errors will occasionally happen. When they do, we correct them promptly, visibly, and on the article itself — not quietly, and not by deletion. A correction is a record, and the record stays.
The Process
How a Correction Happens
1. Report It
Anyone can flag a suspected error by emailing [email protected] with the article link and the issue.
2. We Verify
The desk re-checks the disputed point against primary sources within two working days.
3. We Correct Visibly
Confirmed errors are fixed in the text and a dated correction note is added to the article stating what changed.
Scope
What Gets a Correction Note — and What Doesn’t
Material errors get a dated correction note on the article: a wrong figure, a misattributed statement, an inaccurate description of a law, ruling or announcement, or a misleading framing of what a development means for operators. Minor fixes that do not change meaning — typos, grammar, formatting — are made without a note.
Where a story develops after publication rather than being wrong at the time, we update it and date the update. An update is not a correction, and we label the two differently.
Report an Error
Spotted Something Wrong?
Email the article link and the disputed point to [email protected]. Every report is reviewed by the desk; you do not need to be the affected party to raise one.
Every Correction Note States
- What the article originally said
- What has been corrected, and why
- The date the correction was made
