In short

ISO 22301 certification in Fukuoka at a glance

Hakata Port publishes a business continuity plan, which tells you how seriously the city's logistics hub takes disruption. Island City's terminals handle about 70 per cent of the port's international sea containers, according to the city's page updated in September 2026, so a disruption there reaches exporters, forwarders, warehouses and manufacturers across Kyushu. ISO 22301 helps those firms plan for their own side: a business impact analysis, recovery strategies, plans, exercises and review. Served from Sterling's Tokyo office, Sterling works with your operations team to set priorities, write plans staff can follow under pressure and run realistic exercises, recording actions in Effivity.

You assessed what could disrupt youRisks of disruption to priority activities, and to the resources they depend on, are assessed and treated.
Plans are written and readyResponse and recovery plans, and a defined incident response structure, exist for the scenarios that matter most to you.
You have tested themPlans are exercised, and lessons from exercises and real incidents are fed back into them.
You keep the programme currentContinuity performance is evaluated, internal audits and management reviews take place, and the programme improves over time.

ISO 22301 in Fukuoka: questions clients ask

What does Hakata Port's continuity plan mean for a Fukuoka exporter?

It shows that the port itself plans for disruption, but it does not plan for your factory, stock or customers. An exporter still needs its own impact analysis and recovery plan, covering alternative routes, stock locations and communication with buyers. Ask the port bureau what information it can share.

How should a Fukuoka contact centre approach ISO 22301?

Start with the clients' contractual recovery expectations, then map what the service needs: systems, staff, connectivity and premises. Test a realistic scenario, such as a building outage or a network failure, and record the lessons. Remote-working options often feature in the plan.
