Norfolk Time (NFT) operates at UTC+11 and is used as the standard time zone on Norfolk Island, an external Australian territory in the Pacific Ocean. NFT observes daylight saving time as Norfolk Daylight Time (NFDT), advancing to UTC+12 during the summer months. NFT is sometimes simply called "Norfolk Island Time," supporting the island's administration, tourism, and daily community life.
Importance and Global Use of NFT
Norfolk Time (NFT) is vital for synchronizing activities on Norfolk Island, including local government services, schools, transportation, and tourism operations. The consistent application of NFT, along with seasonal adjustment to NFDT, helps residents and visitors plan effectively and maintain a clear schedule throughout the year.
Globally, NFT has minimal commercial impact beyond the island itself, but it plays an important role in travel, shipping, and regional communications in the South Pacific. Its coordination with Australian daylight saving periods helps maintain smoother links with mainland Australia, benefiting trade, emergency response, and regional cooperation.
