Convert dates from list to datetime format #17

Currently the routescanner dates and times are scraped in a list format, for example ['21 OCT', ' 02:57', 'UTC-03:00']. It could be useful to convert this to datetime, to make it easier processable.

Keep in mind:

Timezones
Daylight savings time
Year changes

Same thing for Maersk but in a different date format. Should be discussed shortly on monday with @imvs95

Maersk date is standard in ie 04 March 2023 10:00. The following line of code fixes this for ie departure time. This code has been implemented

departure_date = datetime.strptime(departure_date,"%d %b %Y %H:%M")
