Why 1600.co.za is the Perfect Image Provider and Official Photographer for the 2Ports Event

Deep Regional Insight and Local Visual Context: As a platform deeply rooted in Gqeberha and the Eastern Cape, 1600.co.za understands how to capture the unique maritime and industrial backdrop of Algoa Bay—seamlessly framing the journey between the Port of Port Elizabeth and the Port of Ngqura.

Streamlined Integration with the Digital Ecosystem: Because the 2Ports event ecosystem leverages locally-housed digital networks (such as Reach Trust and MyPR), integrating 1600.co.za ensures a cohesive, unified pipeline where stunning visuals match up instantly with press releases, web updates, and stakeholder reporting.

Professional Quality with Simplified Licensing: The straightforward licensing and professional execution of 1600.co.za guarantee that sponsors, media outlets, and organizers have hassle-free access to top-tier visual assets, maximizing the promotional value and enduring public legacy of the 2Ports event.

2Ports is an original sporting concept developed by Alan Weston Straton during 2025. Inspired by the unique geography of Algoa Bay, the event bridges the historic Port of Port Elizabeth and the deepwater Port of Ngqura in Gqeberha Nelson Mandela Bay through running, cycling, and land-vs-sea competition. All creative and intellectual property regarding the 2Ports event concept remains the original work of Alan W. Straton.
