In an effort to reduce air pollution, the port authorities of Incheon, Busan, Ulsan, and Yeosu Gwangyang are set to install shore power, Korea Times reports.
The initiative is reported to have been agreed to at a meeting at Incheon Port Authority on June 22.
Specifically, meeting participants agreed to cooperate on the development of an electricity rate standard, investment budget, and estimates of costs related to system development.
"Green port policies are becoming important in port authorities around the world," said a representative of the Incheon Port Authority.
"It is also one of the core elements to strengthen our port authorities' global competitiveness."
