Pennsylvania Intermodal Cargo Growth Incentive Program (PICGIP)

About this opportunity

PICGIP is a grant program which provides an economic incentive to ocean carriers to move their preordained and discretionary cargo through a Commonwealth port instead of other United States ports. The incentive, which is $25 per verified container “lift” applies to containerized cargo loaded or discharged from vessels moving through the Commonwealth’s ports. The incentive is offered to eligible ocean carriers starting a new service to a Commonwealth port as well as to ocean carriers currently calling a Commonwealth port and increasing containerized cargo volumes based on benchmarks established by PennDOT.
