Line Islands Time (LINT) operates at UTC+14 hours, making it one of the world's most advanced time zones. Used across the Line Islands group in Kiribati, including Kiritimati (Christmas Island), LINT does not observe daylight saving time and remains steady throughout the year.
Importance and Global Use of LINT
Line Islands Time is essential for organizing community life, administration, and transportation within the Line Islands, especially on Kiritimati, which has the largest population in the group. Its consistent UTC+14 offset simplifies local coordination, supports education, and assists with reliable government and commercial services.
Globally, LINT holds significance as one of the earliest time zones to see each new calendar day, making it strategically important for international broadcasting, event scheduling, and scientific research. Its stable time reference aids in aligning activities with partners across the Pacific and helps support tourism and development initiatives in Kiribati.
