Abstract

This study examined the effects of information systems on preventing marine pollution. In this study, 170 respondents from shipping companies in Lagos State were chosen, and a survey research design was adopted. A factorial analysis was adopted to examine factors influencing pollution in the Nigerian maritime industry. The findings demonstrated that four factors may explain 72.8% of the common variance shared by seven variables. This is the reflection of the KMO value, 0.717, which can be considered good and also indicates that factor analysis was useful for the variables. Furthermore, the result shows the rho values to be 0.759 at p equals to 0.000, which is less than 0.05; hence, there is a significant relationship existing between the examined variables, which are information systems and pollution prevention. It was concluded that the release of solid waste such as plastics, ballast water, oil spill gases, defecating in the sea, vessel collisions, and abandoned vessels are factors responsible for polluting the marine environment. It was recommended that vessels install technology to prevent the discharge of oil into the sea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
