In December, the Maritime Administration (Marad) awarded $12.6 million in grants to nine marine highway projects underthe America's Marine Highway Program (AMHP). The funding will help address supply chain disruptions, enhance the movement of goods along our navigable waterways, and expand existing waterborne freight services in Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. "These investments through the America's Marine Highway Program will help us move more goods, more quickly and more efficiently," U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete But-tigieg said in a statement. "In this moment of record demand for goods and shipping, this isan important piece ofthe administration's Port Action Plan to strengthen supply chains, modernize port operations, and lower the cost of goods for American families." |
