About the time in Nieuw Amsterdam
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Nieuw Amsterdam day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 12:00–20:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:35 and sunset at 06:52 local time, giving 12h 17m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (5.89, -55.09) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Nieuw Amsterdam.
The zone identifier America/Paramaribo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Paramaribo keeps pointing at Paramaribo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
