Small Harbor Improvement Projects Program (SHIPP) Round 6

Administered by the Connecticut Port Authority, the Small Harbor Improvement Projects Program (SHIPP) aims to strengthen the State’s maritime economy by improving safe access to Connecticut’s harbors and ports and by offsetting incremental costs associated with related regulatory requirements. Applications are open to municipalities and private entities with eligible maritime-related projects on navigable waterways that are contiguously connected to Long Island Sound.

Additional Information:
Municipal applicants may seek funding for planning, construction, repair, and/or dredging activities. Private entities may apply for funding to offset dredging-related costs that exceed those associated with the best‑case, least‑cost placement option. Eligible expenses include sampling, testing, handling, transportation, placement, and related fees.

Funding Agencies: CT Port Authority

Match Requirement: 50% cost-share (municipalities)
