TimeZones and international waters

[Christina Lawrence]

The maps of TimeZones that I have uncovered follow the country
boundaries.  

 

Should the TimeZone Boundaries ideally follow international water
boundaries?  i.e. If one is boating 10 Kilometers off the coast of
Senegal, would the ship be on 0 standard time (like the country of
Senegal with international water rights), or would the ship be on -1
standard time?  

 

Is there any regard with time zones for international water boundaries?

 

 

 



 

 

Let me know if I am not making myself clear!

 

Thanks for your assistance.

I'm forwarding this message from Joshua Kifer, who is not on the time
zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the time zone mailing list
should direct replies appropriately.

I finally found an implementation of this at CodePlex.  It's part of the
PublicDomain project.

I hope this post adds some search fodder to the interweb for all those
unlucky bastards seeking (and not finding) the same.
