Abstract: The study investigated the effectiveness of the existing strategies for managing marine transportation incidence alongside socio-economic impacts in Nigeria. Four hundred copies of questionnaire were administered on the respondents drawn from all maritime regulatory agencies, including Nigerian Shipping Council, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Nigerian Inland and Waterways, Nigerian Ports Authority and Maritime Police with the use of simple random technique. The Study affirmed availability of strategies for managing maritime transportation incidence in Nigeria however not in full usage hence these strategies are very ineffective. Socio-economic implications were obvious and there is need to curb the negative impacts through government deliberate actions and policies. It is pertinent to state that the study results admit the challenges arising from marine incidences, the non-implementation of existing strategies for management of marine related incidences by ministries, departments and agencies saddled with the responsibilities of maritime protection and management tends to be a major cause of most marine incidences. Hence, for a better maritime protection and management, there is need for these strategies adopted by different MDA’s to implemented and effectively monitor the trend. Hence study recommends enforcement of maritime management strategies amongst maritime based Ministries, Department and Agencies should be given top priority.
