Port of Guam Improvement Enterprise Program

The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration is providing financial assistance for planning, design, and construction of port infrastructure projects at the Port of Guam under Assistance Listing 20.822, with the most recent grant award dating to May 2018.

Program activity has been minimal in recent years. Only one grant award has been disbursed under this program, a $2.8 million Cooperative Agreement awarded to the Port of Guam in May 2018 for port construction deficiencies and equipment purchases. That award, which had a completion date of December 31, 2023, represents the entirety of observable recent activity; no grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no awards have been made since 2018.

The program funds concrete port infrastructure work: construction activities to address project deficiencies, closed-circuit television and access control systems, and acquisition of cargo handling equipment. The stated program goal is to improve port facilities, relieve congestion, and increase access to port services at the Port of Guam specifically. All funding activity to date has been through Cooperative Agreements.

The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration is the sole funding source under this Assistance Listing. Combined federal dollars obligated across the program's observable history total $2.8 million, concentrated entirely in the single 2018 award to the Port of Guam.

The lack of recent grant activity, absence of posted opportunities, and eight-year gap since the last award suggest this program is either dormant or operating at extremely low frequency. Organizations interested in port infrastructure funding at Guam should verify current program status and posting schedules directly with the Maritime Administration before pursuing this Assistance Listing.
