Sakhalin Standard Time (SST)

FAQs

Sakhalin Standard Time (SST) is Russia’s Far East gateway, following UTC+11:00 year-round on Sakhalin Island with no daylight saving switches. Teams stepping into SST work with a reliable +11 offset that makes late-morning calls from Sakhalin overlap neatly with European afternoons.

  • What region uses SST in Russia?

    SST is used by Sakhalin Island, which follows Asia/Sakhalin and stays on UTC+11:00 all year.

  • Does SST observe daylight saving?

    No. SST has no daylight saving transitions, so the +11 offset is constant and easy to plan against.

  • When was the current +11 offset set for Asia/Sakhalin?

    Asia/Sakhalin has kept this '+11' setup since May 2021, and there are no pending transitions.

  • How many clocks need to be tracked in this region?

    Just one member zone—Asia/Sakhalin—so SST scheduling rarely involves internal offsets or unexpected exceptions.

  • What’s it like collaborating with someone in +11?

    Your +11 colleagues sit well into European business hours, but you’ll mostly connect with them early in your morning or late at night from the Americas.

  • Is SST grouped with Vladivostok time?

    Not on this page. SST is a separate Russian region code at +11 and is distinct from Vladivostok or Magadan time.

  • Why does Sakhalin stay on +11 all year?

    Russia abolished daylight saving in 2014, and Sakhalin settled permanently on +11 for consistency in energy, logistics, and transport planning.
