Marquesas Time Zone - MART

Marquesas Time is nine and a half hours behind the Coordinated Universal Time standard, written as an offset of UTC - 9:30. That means to find the standard time in the zone you must subtract nine and a half hours from Coordinated Universal Time.

Marquesas Time is considered a nonstandard time zone because it does not have an hourly incremental difference like most other zones. Instead, there's an additional 30 minute time difference between this zone and standard time.

Territories observing the time zone are primarily in the Pacific. It runs through French Polynesia, and Marquesas Islands.

These territories remain on Marquesas Time all year long and do not make any changes for Daylight Saving.
