New Catholic Bible
34 The remainder of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which is included in the book of the kings of Israel.[a]
35 Later King Jehoshaphat of Judah allied himself with King Ahaziah of Israel, who was guilty of wicked deeds. 36 [b]Jehoshaphat joined Ahaziah in the building of ships to sail to Tarshish. The fleet was built at Ezion-geber.

If we understand Tarshish as meaning any distant land, and “ships that could go to Tarshish” as meaning any ships capable of lengthy voyages, any contradiction disappears.
