Opportunity Information: Apply for DTMASSG25
The FY 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity for Small Shipyard Grants (Funding Opportunity Number DTMASSG25) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration (MARAD). The program is designed to support small shipyards by funding capital and related facility improvements that strengthen operational efficiency, competitiveness, and the quality of ship construction, repair, and reconfiguration work. In practical terms, the goal is to help qualified small shipyards modernize or upgrade their infrastructure, equipment, and capabilities in ways that make them more productive and better positioned to compete for maritime work.
For FY 2025, MARAD indicates there is a total of $8,750,000 available under this program. The opportunity sets an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per grant, and MARAD expects to make about 15 awards, though the actual number may depend on application quality and final award amounts. The listing is associated with CFDA number 20.814, and the eligible applicant type is small businesses, reflecting the program's focus on smaller shipyard operators rather than large shipbuilding corporations.
Competition is expected to be high. MARAD explicitly cautions applicants that, based on prior experience, the number of applications will likely far exceed available funding and that only a small percentage of applicants will receive awards. That statement is important for planning purposes: applicants should assume a competitive selection process and put real effort into showing how the proposed investments will produce measurable improvements in efficiency, throughput, cost control, safety, quality, or other performance outcomes tied to shipyard operations.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. The submission package includes the standard federal application form SF-424 along with an Addendum referenced in the notice. The deadline is May 15, 2025, with submissions due by 11:59:59 PM (as stated in the posting). Detailed application and submission requirements are contained in the full FY 2025 SSG NOFO document under the "Related Documents" section of the listing and on the MARAD Small Shipyard Grants webpage (https://www.maritime.dot.gov/grants-finances/small-shipyard-grants). The opportunity was created on April 1, 2025, and applicants should rely on the full NOFO text for specifics on eligibility definitions, allowable costs, required attachments, evaluation criteria, and any compliance or reporting expectations after award.Apply for DTMASSG25
