Anchor GrantWorks

MARAD grants, expertly managed.

We help shipyards and marine companies with MARAD Small Shipyard Grants, Marine Highway Grants, and Title XI Federal Ship Financing applications.

Three MARAD programs, one specialist

Anchor GrantWorks focuses on the federal maritime programs that matter most to shipyards — Small Shipyard Grants for facility and equipment upgrades, Marine Highway Grants for short-sea shipping infrastructure, and Title XI for ship construction financing.

From application to closeout

Whether you're modernizing a dry dock, expanding a marine highway route, or pursuing a Title XI loan guarantee, we guide you through eligibility, competitive applications, award administration, and compliance reporting.
