ISO 22301 certification in Gqeberha at a glance
A zone built around one deep-water port concentrates risk. The Port of Ngqura, inside the Coega Special Economic Zone and operational since 2009 according to the Transnet National Ports Authority, handles container transhipment, while Port Elizabeth takes vehicles and bulk. Manufacturers, exporters and just-in-time automotive suppliers in the zone rely on them, plus power and a handful of other utilities. ISO 22301 gives them a method for the day something fails: a business impact analysis, recovery priorities, documented plans, exercises and review. Sterling's Johannesburg office facilitates the analysis, builds the plans with your teams and prepares the audit by an accredited certification body.

ISO 22301 in Gqeberha: questions clients ask
What disruptions should a Coega zone tenant plan for?
The ones the business analysis shows would hurt most: loss of port or road access, utility failure, a supplier outage, a cyber incident, or the loss of a building or key people. ISO 22301 requires impact analysis first, then recovery priorities and tested plans. The mix differs between a metals tenant and an outsourcing centre.
Why do automotive suppliers need continuity plans of their own?
Because a vehicle line that waits for parts costs the customer far more than the part is worth, and customers pass that risk down. A supplier that can show tested recovery priorities, alternate sourcing and communication plans is easier to trust. Customer-specific requirements often ask for contingency plans anyway.
