Opportunity Summary:
The Small Shipyards Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTMA1G0001) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration (MARAD) under CFDA 20.814, Assistance to Small Shipyards. It was created under Section 3508 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417) along with provisions in the Supplemental Act, 2009. The basic purpose of the program is to provide financial assistance to qualified small shipyards so they can make capital and related infrastructure improvements that directly strengthen shipyard performance and long-term viability.
The program is aimed at projects that help small shipyards become more efficient and competitive while improving the quality of ship construction, repair, and reconfiguration work. In practical terms, this means funding is intended for investments that modernize a shipyard's physical plant or operational capabilities, such as equipment upgrades, facility improvements, or infrastructure changes that remove production bottlenecks and support higher-quality workmanship and throughput. The emphasis is on improvements that have a clear connection to operational efficiency, competitive positioning, and the shipyard's ability to deliver higher-quality results.
This opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are expected to contribute a portion of the total project cost from non-federal sources. In grant programs like this, cost share is typically used to demonstrate the applicant's commitment and to stretch federal dollars across more projects, so applicants would need to plan for and document how they will meet that requirement as part of the application.
Eligibility is limited to shipyards, and the shipyard facility that would benefit from the grant must meet specific conditions. The facility must be located in a single geographic location, be located in or near a maritime community, and it may not employ more than 1,200 production employees. Those criteria define what MARAD considers a "small shipyard" for purposes of this program and are central eligibility tests that applicants would need to satisfy.
The announcement was posted and created on March 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of April 20, 2009, and an archive date of May 20, 2009. The listed estimated total funding is $2,000,000, and the source text also states that there is an aggregate of $98,000,000 available for grants for qualifying capital and infrastructure improvements. The opportunity is offered as a grant funding instrument, and its activity category is listed as "Other," explained as assistance to small shipyards for capital improvements and related infrastructure improvements.
