This grant supports the Sister Ports Program, designed to bolster economic and security resilience in foreign ports by facilitating the sharing of best practices in port security and sustainable development. It provides an opportunity for international and domestic ports to visit each other, fostering relationships between commercial and government actors. The program carefully pairs foreign ports with suitable U.S. counterparts, considering size, function, or strategic interest. This initiative aims to introduce participating ports to new trade relationships, connect them with U.S. government partners, and expose them to trusted maritime technology and industry representatives, ultimately enhancing global maritime security and sustainable port operations.
