A large digital clock in <em>Okeanos Explorer</em>’s control room always displays the current time in UTC. Data from sensors and equipment on board the ship are always logged in UTC so operations on board the ship, regardless of the ship’s geographic location, can later be correlated to, for example, comments made in the Eventlog.
