About Port Vila time
Port Vila keeps one clock.
Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, runs on Vanuatu Time (UTC+11:00), ahead of most major business centers: 9 AM in Port Vila is 10 or 11 PM the previous evening in London and 5 or 6 PM the previous day in New York. Vanuatu does not use daylight saving (it last did in 1992-93), so Port Vila stays on UTC+11:00 all year.
