Port security grant program

Statue Cruises LLC received a $248,018 Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 12, 2022. The grant was provided through the Port Security Grant Program, officially titled the Port Security Grant Program (CFDA #97.056).

The Port Security Grant Program aims to help protect critical port infrastructure from risks associated with potential terrorist attacks, major disasters, or other emergencies. With this funding, Statue Cruises LLC will provide transportation security services for Jersey City's port facilities, helping to enhance maritime domain awareness and restrict unauthorized access to vital port infrastructure and vessels. The services supported through this award will advance the grant program's strategic goal of strengthening national security by making U.S. seaports less vulnerable to evolving security threats.
