Anadyr Time (ANAT) operates at UTC+12 year-round and is used in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia's easternmost region bordering the Bering Sea. ANAT does not observe daylight saving time and is sometimes simply called "Chukotka Time." It provides a consistent and practical time standard for daily activities, administration, and logistics in this remote and sparsely populated territory.
Importance and Global Use of ANAT
Anadyr Time (ANAT) is essential for supporting public services, transportation, and community coordination within Chukotka, an area with harsh Arctic conditions and limited infrastructure. Its stable UTC+12 offset helps maintain reliable scheduling for supply chains, healthcare, and education across scattered settlements and indigenous communities.
Internationally, ANAT has limited commercial or civilian influence but is important for coordinating cross-border cooperation and shipping with neighboring Alaska across the Bering Strait. Its alignment with other Pacific Rim time zones also supports Russian Arctic research programs and maritime operations in the northeastern Pacific.
