Maritime Security Fleet Program or Ship Operations Cooperation Program — CFDA 20.813

$718,690,614.61 in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for the Maritime Security Fleet Program or Ship Operations Cooperation Program (CFDA 20.813). The listing carries 131 awards, 13 recipients, and a 1-jurisdiction geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of ships enrolled, sail days, or cargo tons. One jurisdiction against 13 named organizations is a headquarters-coded fleet file, not a 50-state port map. The 1-jurisdiction map and 13 recipients describe a headquarters-coded fleet file, and the $718,690,614.61 stock should be read only against CFDA 20.813.

Maritime Security Fleet obligations at $718.7 million

USAspending.gov records $718,690,614.61 in obligations under CFDA 20.813. One hundred thirty-one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5,486,188 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical retainer stipend per vessel and not a cost per sailing day. Other Maritime Administration listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $718,690,614.61.

The assistance-listing title is MARITIME SECURITY FLEET PROGRAM OR SHIP OPERATIONS COOPERATION PROGRAM. CFDA 20.813 is the identifier. Combining 20.813 with cargo-preference or Title XI codes would invent a combined maritime total this packet does not contain. Read the $718,690,614.61 as the obligation book tagged 20.813 only.

13 recipients in 1 jurisdiction

Thirteen recipients share 131 awards, or about 10.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $718,690,614.61 evenly would assign about $55.3 million per recipient. That density is an operator-retainer pattern: a tiny named-company headcount carrying many assistance rows over time. The packet does not list the 13.

One jurisdiction in the geographic count is the distinctive map. Fleet-program dollars are often coded to a single administrative place of performance, not to every port a vessel calls. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of ships or mariners.

Award rows are not a vessel census

Among transportation listings, 20.813 is a mid-row concentrated file: 131 awards against 13 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of ships” and a worse proxy for sail days. Recipients (13) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (131) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report MSP vessel names, TEU capacity, or crew counts. Citing 131 as ships would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $718,690,614.61 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus fleet-program outlays

The $718,690,614.61 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Maritime Security Fleet Program awards — are not in the packet. A retainer file can show a large obligation stock while operators draw against fiscal-year stipends. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Use CFDA 20.813 to size this fleet listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a vessel-tracking dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 20.813.

What the 20.813 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a vessel registry, not a port-call log, and not a mariner roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $718,690,614.61. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 131 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 1 jurisdiction is a coding field on a concentrated extract. Read the program page before treating that single cell as a national port map. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to operators.

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 20.813 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other transportation listings. For 20.813 only, start on the program page.

A researcher comparing 20.813 with cargo-preference or Title XI codes should keep CFDA numbers separate.
