Duffy United States Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, D.C. 20590 Secretary Duffy, I support Morgan City Harbor and Terminal District's application to the FY 2025 US Marine Highways Program (USMHP) funding proposal titled, "Procuring Cargo Transloading Equipment -- Phase 4B." The Port of Morgan City is requesting funding for a new rough terrain crane, a compact track loader, and necessary attachments. The Port will contribute a local cost-share of nearly $200,000. The procurement of new crane equipment will improve the Port's loading operations, reducing vessel turnaround times and increasing efficiency. These improvements will also ensure the Port can accommodate a wider variety of ships. By investing in modern infrastructure, the Port can help facilitate and expand economic activity in the surrounding community for the decades to come. I request that you give the Morgan City Harbor and Terminal District's application your full and fair consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to working with you on future infrastructure development efforts. Respectfully, Clay Higgins Member of Congress OST-2025-1200 Page 02072 Sierra Club v.
