Over the years there have been stories of notorious oil spillages in the Niger Delta regions of the country, deposition of deadly industrial wastes into the seas at Lagos Lagoons and beaches, deposition of Biological and medical wastes in the Nigerian sea borders etc.
which have led to death of sea and land animals including man in most cases as well as other environmental hazards; yet the perpetrators’ of such dastardly acts are most times not apprehended or adequately punished.
Such situations and occurrence as described above has high degree adverse effect on nature generally either on short term or long term basis.
Therefore prevention of such situations from occurringis best advocated for instead of control and management.
It is to this extent that only high technological expert systems such as Maritime information systems with accurate data processing, storage, retrieval and simulation as well as precise results and outputs can be used in effective protection of the Maritime environment and prevention of pollution occurrence in the country.
The research design employed in this work was a survey descriptive type in which means, frequency and percentages all in a tabular format were used in the analysis of data gathered from the respondents encountered in the process.
The respondents used in the study were made up of 15 senior staffs and 33 junior staffs gathered from 5 departments of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) Lagos.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Marine environment is one of earth’s most precious and delicate resources and there is a growing awareness amongst nations of the world that drastic and sustainable measures need to be adopted and implemented to protect it from further deterioration.
Nigeria is a maritime nation with a coastline of approximately 853km on its southern border and a population of over 120 million inhabitants, 20% of which inhabit the coastal zone.
The importance of the marine environment to Nigeria is underscored by the fact that about 90% of its international trade i.e. imports and exports are dependent on marine transport.
Nigeria has about 9 major ports which are for navigational and administrative purposes divided into 5 Navigational Districts namely: Port Harcourt, Warri, Lagos, Calabar and Onne navigational districts. Ship traffic into these ports excluding tankers is estimated at approximately 3,500 vessels per annum.
Out of the total traffic, ports within the Lagos area account for 50%, Rivers ports 25% and Delta ports 15%. Overall cargo throughput (excluding crude) is estimated at 22.23 million tones.
The total number of passengers that pass through the sea ports is estimated at 1500 per year. Nigeria being a major oil producing and exporting country records approximately 1,000 petroleum tanker vessels calling at her ports annually, with an average tanker size of about 95.000 GRT.
All the vessels calling at these ports carry enormous amount of waste including bilge,sludge, garbage, sewage, chemical waste (toxic and non-toxic) and in the absenceof Reception Facilities all the ship generated waste are discharged into the seawithin the vicinity of the ports.
Recent events including the oil spill resulting fromcollision of The Agulhas and The Asian Star, the Marina Bay rice pollution and Tankfarm spillage at Tin Can Island of June 2002 together emphasize the problem of pollution in the ports.
One must not forget the constant damage and threat to the portenvironment posed by industries like the Flour Mills, rice, salt and sugar factorieslocated in the port area.
The focus of this research work is on application of Information systems in prevention of pollution in the Maritime industry.
Nigeria as we all know has no dry ports at the moment therefore our area of discourse would be limited to seaports and pollution of the marine environment within the vicinity of the Ports.
We would adopt as a working definition the meaning given to the concept of marine pollution by the United Nations Convention on Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982 which provides as follows:
“Pollution of the marine environment means the introduction by man, directly or indirectly, of substances or energy into the marine environment, including estuaries which results or is likely to result in such deleterious effects such as harm to living resources and marine life,
hazard to human health, hindrance to marine activities, including fishing and other legitimate uses of the sea, impairment of quality for use of the sea and reduction of amenities.”
