About Line Islands Time (LINT)
Line Islands Time, abbreviated LINT, is the time standard represented on this page. Its exact offset is UTC+14, which places it 14 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.
LINT does not observe daylight saving time, and it has no counterpart. That means the abbreviation stays the same year-round, with no seasonal switch to an alternate standard or daylight version.
Another abbreviation with the same UTC offset is TOST. If you are comparing time zones by offset alone, both LINT and TOST align at UTC+14, although they are separate abbreviations.
LINT and Daylight Saving Time
LINT does not use daylight saving time at any point during the year. There is no spring-forward or fall-back change, so the offset remains fixed at UTC+14 in every month.
Because there is no daylight saving transition, LINT does not switch to another abbreviation and has no counterpart. For scheduling, this means a time selected in LINT remains on the same UTC offset consistently, which simplifies recurring meeting planning and long-term calendar coordination.
