Shore-Based Power Supply (SBPS) Basis of adaptation measure: Energy production and use are the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions World Bank Establishment spearheaded by Port of Cagayan de Oro
Hydroelectric power provided to vessels at berth
Emissions of CO and other obnoxious gases are prevented
