About the company
Moran Towing Corporation, headquartered in New Canaan, Connecticut, is a for-profit maritime services provider that has maintained active federal contracting status since its registration with SAM.gov in March 2008. The company specializes in delivering comprehensive maritime support services to federal agencies, with particular emphasis on tugboat operations, ship handling, emergency response, and port security support. Moran Towing Corporation operates as a prime contractor and has established itself as a critical provider of specialized maritime infrastructure and operational support to the U.S. Department of the Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
Through its federal prime contract awards, Moran Towing Corporation has provided an extensive range of tugboat and maritime services valued at over $147 million. The company's largest contracts are firm fixed-price definitive contracts with the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command, including a $95.2 million Norfolk tugs contract awarded on December 26, 2023, with a completion date of January 30, 2026, and a $20.5 million Portsmouth tugs time charter contract awarded on January 26, 2024, extending through January 31, 2026. Additionally, Moran Towing Corporation received a $2.1 million firm fixed-price contract from Naval Sea Systems Command in August 2023 for tug and towing services at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which served as a bridge contract until the longer-term Military Sealift Command award could be competed. The company has also provided services to the U.S. Coast Guard through multiple purchase order contracts, including a $21,360 contract in July 2025 for tugboat services supporting the USCGC STONE at the Port of Charleston, South Carolina, a $8,000 contract in June 2025 for pilot and tug mooring services, and a $4,500 contract in August 2021 for inbound transit support. None of these contract awards utilized small business set-aside designations. Moran Towing Corporation has also served as a subcontractor to Metro Machine Corp. on three separate occasions, with awards documented in August 2024, June 2023, and March 2023, providing commercial leasing and fixed-price services.
Moran Towing Corporation has received substantial federal grant funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Port Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.056), with multiple project grants awarded to enhance maritime security and protect critical port infrastructure in New Canaan, Connecticut. The company received a series of Port Security Grant Program awards in August 2023, followed by additional grants awarded on September 1, 2024, and September 1, 2025.

An earlier grant of $266,316 was awarded on September 1, 2024, for the performance period ending August 31, 2027. These grants support Moran Towing Corporation's efforts to procure patrol vessels, communications equipment, surveillance systems, and cybersecurity upgrades, as well as to provide maritime security training and hire additional personnel to improve port-wide risk management and maritime domain awareness. All grant awards were issued directly to Moran Towing Corporation as a prime recipient with no identified subgrant partners, demonstrating FEMA's confidence in the company's capacity to execute comprehensive maritime security enhancement projects at the port level.
