Vladivostok Time (VLAT) operates at UTC+10 year-round and is the official time zone for Primorsky Krai, Khabarovsk Krai, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, and parts of the Sakha Republic in Russia's Far East. Sometimes referred to as "Vladivostok Standard Time," VLAT does not observe daylight saving time and provides a consistent and practical time reference for these strategically important regions near the Sea of Japan.
Importance and Global Use of VLAT
Vladivostok Time (VLAT) is vital for coordinating government services, transportation, trade, and military operations in one of Russia's key Pacific-facing territories. Its stable UTC+10 offset helps synchronize port activities, shipping timetables, and daily routines across these regions, promoting reliable local and regional administration.
Internationally, VLAT aligns with neighboring time zones in Japan, Korea, and parts of eastern Russia, supporting smoother cross-border trade, tourism, and diplomatic ties. This dependable time standard strengthens Vladivostok's role as a major hub for Russia's engagement with the broader Asia-Pacific region.
