The U. S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) announced Monday that it would make available an additional $14.8 million for the America’s Marine Highway Program (AMHP).
The new funding brings to nearly $40 million the amount available for the AMHP program. Additionally, MARAD extended the deadline for applicants to apply for the funding to June 17.
“Under the President’s leadership, we are making a once-in-a-generation investment in our ports and intermodal infrastructure to move goods faster, strengthen supply chain resiliency, and reduce the climate impacts of port operations,” said Acting Maritime Administrator Lucinda Lessley.
