Abstract

The impact of ship-borne pollution in Nigeria’s seaport is alarming. Following the guidelines of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). This study identifies the types of ship-generated waste; evaluates the availability of waste reception facilities in Nigerian seaports, examining the costs of operation waste reception facilities in the Nigerian Seaports; examines the management of ship waste collection processes in the Nigerian Seaports; investigates the implementation of seaport waste management policies in Nigeria; and determines the challenges of ship waste management in the Nigerian seaports. Six research questions were used to appraise the management of waste reception facilities in the Nigerian seaports; corresponding hypotheses were analyzed; the study was based on the command-and-control theory of pollution. To achieve the study goals, copies of the questionnaire were used as a data collection tool. The data collected were analyzed using Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23, while the grand mean method and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to test the hypotheses. Findings show that: only 51.7% of ports have waste receiving facilities that are operational; the process of collecting and evacuating the ship’s waste is poor; implementation of seaport waste management plan in Nigerian ports differs from all seaports (p<0.05); weak implementation of waste management plans; and lack of capacity and cost of using waste reception (83.3%) were major challenges in ship generation pollution management. Based on these findings, the study concludes that waste reception facilities were available and operational in Nigerian ports before the Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) criteria were introduced.

Keywords: Pollution, management, ship-generated, Nigerian seaports, zero liquid discharge
