# Maritime Industry Seeks 2027 Funding

Maritime industry advocates are making grant funding and revitalization of the domestic maritime base priorities for 2027, and expect the issues to receive bipartisan consideration regardless of which party controls Congress after the midterm elections. No funding amounts, solicitations, awards, or application dates have been announced, so contractors do not yet have a specific procurement to pursue.

- Companies serving the maritime sector can track congressional action and emerging maritime grant opportunities, as the source recommends, for details on potential funding.
- The stated priorities point to possible future demand tied to strengthening domestic maritime capacity, but specific eligible activities and procurement requirements are not yet identified.
