The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) is one of four grant programs that constitute DHS/FEMA’s focus on transportation infrastructure security activities.
PSGP allows for a broad range of projects to be funded as long as they are applicable to enhancing maritime security capabilities. The entire breadth of the POETE (planning, operational, equipment, training, and exercise) is allowable under PSGP.
Typical types of projects include:
- Patrol vessels
- Communications equipment
- Surveillance equipment
- Cybersecurity enhancements
- Hiring NEW security personnel
- Plan development
- Maritime security training
- Maritime security exercises
Projects that are not primarily dedicated to the enhancement of maritime security capabilities (i.e., citywide projects, or business related projects) are not eligible.
