About Colombia Time (COT)
Colombia Time (COT, IANA: America/Bogota) is the official civil time of the Republic of Colombia, set at UTC-5:00 year-round. Colombia abolished Daylight Saving Time in 1993 after a brief experimental DST period (1992-1993), so COT is observed without seasonal change since then. COT serves approximately 52 million people across Colombia's 32 departments + Bogotá Capital District. Major cities: Bogotá (8M city, 11M metro — capital), Medellín (2.5M city, 4M metro), Cali (2.3M), Barranquilla (1.3M), Cartagena (1M), Cúcuta (700K), Bucaramanga (600K). COT is identical in offset to Eastern Standard Time (EST) US, Cuban Standard Time (CST-Cu), Peru Time (PET), and Ecuador Time (ECT). The San Andrés and Providencia archipelago in the Caribbean Sea (closer to Nicaragua than to mainland Colombia) also observes COT. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC) trading hours, Ecopetrol oil-pipeline operations, Café de Colombia harvest-season coordination, and Cartagena de Indias cruise-ship port arrivals scheduling.
About Alaska Standard Time (AKST)
Alaska Standard Time (AKST, IANA: America/Anchorage and America/Juneau) is the time zone for most of the State of Alaska, set at UTC-9:00. AKST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966 + Energy Policy Act of 2005; Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT = UTC-8:00) for the remainder of the year. The vast Alaska time zone covers ~3,200 km east-to-west — from Ketchikan to Atka in the Aleutians — and is the only US time zone that spans more than 1,000 miles longitudinally, meaning solar-noon in different Alaska cities varies by over an hour from local clock time. Major population centers: Anchorage (~290,000), Fairbanks (~95,000), Juneau state capital (~32,000). Used in coordination of cruise-ship schedules through the Inside Passage, North Slope oil-pipeline operations, US Air Force JBER and Eielson AFB activities, and Alaska commercial fishing season openings managed by ADF&G.
