The FY2026 Port Security Grant Program puts $95 million behind maritime and port facility security. WorldSafe supports port operators through the entire process, from objective maritime risk and vulnerability assessments to grant-ready Investment Justifications ready for submission.
Schedule your maritime risk assessment
The Port Security Grant Program funds the people, plans, and equipment that protect maritime and port facilities. FY2026 makes roughly $95 million available across about 200 awards, administered by DHS and FEMA.
The funding is real. Winning it depends on a defensible risk assessment and a well-built Investment Justification. WorldSafe handles both.
Three phases carry a port operator from risk picture to final award.
A WorldSafe practitioner produces an objective, grant-ready maritime risk and vulnerability assessment of your facility. The findings become the evidence base your application stands on.
WorldSafe prepares the Investment Justification, the document FEMA scores, and assists with submission through grants.gov before the deadline.
FEMA reviews and scores each Investment Justification for final award. A clear assessment and a well-built justification give yours the strongest possible standing.
An award carries a period of performance and real reporting obligations. WorldSafe stays with you through implementation, so the funding turns into security on the ground rather than a balance you struggle to spend.
Accept the award, confirm the approved budget and your cost-share match, and establish the grant management and reporting accounts FEMA requires.
Funds are spent against the approved Investment Justification over a fixed window, typically up to 36 months from the date of award.
Purchase and install the approved equipment, run the training and exercises, and document every expenditure against the budget.
File the required financial and progress reports through the period, then close out the grant with final documentation.
WorldSafe supports implementation and can fold ongoing readiness into Resilience as a Service, so the capability you funded stays current long after closeout.
PSGP funds typically support a defined set of security investments. WorldSafe maps your assessment findings to the categories most likely to score.
Cameras, sensors, and monitoring across the facility
Radios, networks, and interoperable systems
Mass notification and emergency messaging capability
Protection for the systems that run the facility
Staffing to close coverage and response gaps
Security and response plans built to standard
Practitioner-led training for facility staff
Drills and tabletop exercises that test readiness
