ABSTRACT
This project provided information on the issue of ship-generated waste in the Tin Can Island Port, Lagos Complex and made recommendations based on findings. Using port-of-call and population statistics, the researcher was able to estimate the amount of ship-generated produced by the vessel traffic in TCIP.
In Nigeria, since 2004 port reception facilities in Tin Can Island port have been made available for control and containment of ship generated wastes or pollutions from ships, based on the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78). The numbers of ships calls to the port and their disposed wastes have been continuously recorded in the Nigerian Ports Authority Annual Abstract Statistics Reports since then. The main goal of this research is to forecast the amount of different waste collected from ships that called to the Tin Can Island Port for next four years based on the data collected between 2008 and 2012 using ARMA forecasting model with NCSS software tool.
According to result obtained with the model, the current data remain between the upper and the lower limit values of forecasting data.

This project provided information on the issue of ship-generated waste in the Tin Can Island Port, Lagos Complex and made recommendations based on findings. Using port-of-call and population statistics, the researcher was able to estimate the amount of ship-generated produced by the vessel traffic in TCIP within the research period. The numbers of ships calls to the port and their disposed wastes have been continuously recorded in the Nigerian Ports Authority Annual Abstract Statistics Reports since then. The main goal of this research is to forecast the amount of different waste collected from ships that called to the Tin Can Island Port for next four years based on the data collected between 2008 and 2012 using ARMA forecasting model with NCSS software tool. According to results obtained from the available data, total volume of oily waste collected from ships increased from 2008 to 2009 but there was a sudden decreased between 2010 and 2012. According to estimations figured out by researcher using NCSS software; the collected amount of oily waste and garbage will decrease based on the estimated data of January 2013 to December 2016.

The research project deals with the size, structure and trend of Nigerian International seaborne trade, although with
emphasis on dry bulks. Facts and figures about the geographical distribution of the seaborne trade and its cargo type by
packaging were presented for a 10 years research period (1996-2005) with comments on the trend of Nigerian’s
seaborne trade over these years. The researcher was able to analyze these, with the aid of the expo-facto scientific
research design using secondary data for the demand for transport within the various selected regions of the world. The
result reveals that there were most frequent shipping routes between Nigeria-USA region, this was followed by the
Nigeria-Asia region trading with larger volume. And demand for transport is therefore greatest within these regions!
