Zulu Time is based on the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, which is known as the Prime Meridian of the World. Zulu Time is used by the military, aviation, and maritime industries, and by scientists and other professionals who must synchronize their activities across different time zones.
Zulu Time is valuable since it’s an accurate and reliable time standard. If you’re tracking the progress of your imports being shipped by ocean vessel, there is a strong chance that Zulu time is being used.
Unless you happen to already be in Greenwich, chances are your local time is going to be different. This may help you make final arrangements for document filing based on a ship’s estimated time of arrival.
