MARAD grants, expertly managed.

We help shipyards and maritime companies with MARAD Small Shipyard Grants, U.S. Marine Highway Program grants, and Title XI Federal Ship Financing applications.

Three MARAD programs, one specialist

Anchor GrantWorks focuses on the federal maritime programs that are important to shipyards — Small Shipyard Grants for facility and equipment upgrades, U.S. Marine Highway Program grants for designated-route projects that expand marine highway transportation, and Title XI for financing.

From application to closeout

Whether you're modernizing a dry dock, expanding marine highway transportation on a designated route, or pursuing a Title XI loan guarantee, we guide you through eligibility, competitive applications, award administration, and compliance reporting.
