Marshall Islands Time
Marshall Islands Time (MIT) keeps the islands of Kwajalein and Majuro on a steady UTC+12:00 year-round—there's no daylight-saving shifts to chase, no clock changes to remember. That makes life and collaboration a refreshingly straightforward affair for anyone coordinating across the Pacific: what you see is what you get.

IANA zones · the technical identifiers
The 2 zones that resolve to MIT.
For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.
