ISO 22301 certification in Sohar at a glance
When one port moves most of a country's maritime cargo, its continuity is a national matter. The ministry credits SOHAR Port with over 80% of Oman's maritime cargo in 2022, with deep-water berths and remote-controlled cranes, and the surrounding steel, petrochemical and plastics plants depend on its berths and roads. Hafeet Rail's first phase adds a cross-border rail link. ISO 22301 requires operators to identify critical activities, assess the impact of losing them, set recovery strategies and prove them through exercises, which for Sohar means answering what happens when a berth, a crane system, a power supply or a road link stops. An accredited certification body issues the certificate. Sterling prepares Sohar clients from Sterling's Dubai office. National guidance is on the Oman page.

ISO 22301 in Sohar: questions clients ask
Why does business continuity matter in Sohar?
Because one port carries so much. The ministry credits SOHAR Port with over 80% of Oman's maritime cargo in 2022, so a disruption there affects shippers, plants and downstream customers alike. ISO 22301 gives operators a tested method for impact analysis, recovery and exercises, assessed by an accredited certification body.
Does Hafeet Rail change continuity planning for Sohar firms?
It adds an alternative route. Hafeet Rail's first phase connects Sohar to the UAE's national rail network, so a firm can consider rail alongside road and sea in its recovery options. Whether a particular route is available to you depends on the rail operator and your cargo, which a continuity plan should test rather than assume.
