NPA ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

 Environment Department is part of the Health, Safety

and Environment (HSE) Division in Nigerian Port Authority (NPA). The Department has the responsibility

• f overseeing the Environment under the NPA’s

Administrative Jurisdiction. It has the following functions among others:

 Environmental Protection  Pollution prevention, containment and control  Oil monitoring.

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

 The department handles issues that concerns People,

Properties and Facilities with respect to impacts resulting from operational activities to the surrounding Environment.

 Its goals are achieved through implementation of

structured strategies in form of enforcement of environmental laws and regulations, awareness programs and campaigns, and other activities that are designed in line with Environment Policies & practices.



NPA ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

 Although NPA is yet to be certified to Environmental

Management System, all its Environmental Management strategies are in line and complies with international standards and best practices.

 Example of this is the domestication of IMO MARPOL

and BWM conventions.

 Provision of Port Reception Facilities in line with the

international convention for the prevention of pollution from Ships – MARPOL 73/78 (guided by MEPC 63/23/Add.1 Annex 24, page 25 section 5.1.)

NPA activities identified for the purpose of this presentation are



VTS from the approaching channels



Cargo Handling



Transportation (to/and from storage)



Storage and Warehousing



Tallying Marketing and Surveying



Surveillance, protection and sanitary measures



Dredging



Other activities by Terminal Operators such as production, labelling and distribution

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

NPA ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

 Handling of Oils – through provision of interface and

transportations of petroleum related cargoes

 Electrical power usage  Natural gas and diesel usage  Usage of surface and ground water  Oil/Lubricant Usage  Transportation /use of Metals, Chemicals & Acids  etc.

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

NPA ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

 The environmental Impact of NPA’s activities cannot

be over emphasised, impacts of oils spill, chemical spill, ballast water discharges, spills of biological agents, Wrecks, emissions from ships, plants and generating sets.

 Others include, traffic congestions on the port

access roads, emission from trucks, handling of Hazardous cargoes, etc constitute Environmental issues which are seen in the next few slides.

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

NPA ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Similar to every other Port in Africa, Nigeria experiences some of the following environmental issues:

 Environmental Pollution- from Marine liters, plastic

sachets, effluent discharges, oil pollution, ballast water pollution, indiscriminate dumping of wastes etc

 Marine habitat destruction:- movement impacts from

water crafts, chemicals from industries, installation of Port facilities and others destroys habitats

 Species extinction- Destructions of habitat plus

pollution reanders species vulnerable to extinction

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

NPA ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

CHEMICAL DISCHARGES

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

NPA ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

 Depletion of energy or mineral sources, - oil

exploration, inappropriate water utilization, gas flaring and others constitutes energy/ mineral resource depletion

 Ground & Surface water contamination, - resulting

from uncontrolled and unprofessional use of Agro –

• chemicals. This also leads to Chemical persistence,

Salinization and Crust formation on stomata of leaves

 Proliferation of Tank farms- caused by access to

Petroleum product prospecting and distribution. Etc.

N I G E R I A N P O R T S A U T H O R I T Y

 Presently, NPA is yet to be certified to ISO 14001

Environmental Management System.

 However, the strategies employed for managing our

environmental Aspects /impacts comply with international standards.

 Some of the strategies used for the management of

Environment include but are not limited to the following:-
