The Port of Port Arthur received a $2.5 million project grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 15, 2022 under the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP, CFDA #97.056). Funds will support port security activities to enhance maritime transportation system security and resiliency.
The PSGP aims to fund transportation infrastructure security activities to protect critical port infrastructure from risks including terrorism. It allows grants for training, exercises, personnel, equipment, and systems to help prevent, detect, respond to and recover from attacks targeting ports and waterways. For the Port of Port Arthur, this funding will likely enhance security through measures such as access control upgrades, installation of surveillance equipment, and emergency response training and exercises tailored to the port's unique risks and infrastructure.
