Pohnpei Standard Time (PONT) operates at UTC+11 hours, serving as the official time zone for Pohnpei State in the Federated States of Micronesia. Sometimes referred to simply as "Pohnpei Time," PONT does not observe daylight saving time and remains consistent throughout the year.
Importance and Global Use of PONT
Pohnpei Standard Time is critical for maintaining consistent scheduling and administrative operations within Pohnpei State, which includes the island of Pohnpei and several outer islands. It ensures smooth coordination of government, education, transportation, and communication services across this geographically scattered island area.
Internationally, PONT provides a reference point for flights, maritime operations, and regional collaborations with other parts of Micronesia and the broader Pacific region. Its stable UTC+11 offset helps global businesses, travelers, and aid organizations coordinate activities reliably in this part of Oceania.
