1.3 Significance of the study
Information Communication Technology
(ICT) refers to several forms of information exchange between two or
more devices like computers, mobile PDAs and hi-tech devices through
which any of the several methods of interconnection, principally through
the Internet can be initiated to perform a defined task. These
technologies provide speedy, inexpensive, secure and convenient means of
communication.
Therefore, in developing countries Nigeria precisely,
the impact of ICT in the maritime sector for maritime operations and
security cannot be over emphasized.It is as a result of this that this
research study is determined to assess the impact of ICT on security of
Maritime operations.
1.4 Objectives of the study
1. To asses maritime security, information and communications technology.
1.5 Research questions
1. How can maritime security, information and communications technology be assessed?
1.6 Research hypotheses
Ho: Maritime security, information and communications technology cannot be assessed.
Hi: Maritime security, information and communications technology can be assessed.
1.7 Limitations of the study
Financial
constraint- Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the
researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or
information and in the process of data collection (internet,
questionnaire and interview).
Time constraint- The researcher will
simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This
consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.
1.8 Scope of the study
The study focuses on assessing maritime security, information and communications technology with rivers port as a case study.
1.9 Definition of terms
Maritime: This is connected with the sea, especially in relation to seaborne trade or naval matters.
Security: This refers to protection of a person, building, organization, or country against threats.
Information
and Communications Technology: This refers to an umbrella term that
includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio,
television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software,
satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and
applications.
