Abstract
Maritime law in Nigeria encompasses a wide range of laws, regulations, and international conventions such as the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023, the Admiralty Jurisdiction Act, Merchant Shipping Act, Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Act, and Cabotage Act are key legislations that shape the industry. Adhering to these provisions is essential for promoting safety, security, and sustainable growth in Nigeria’s maritime sector. In addition to the laws and conventions, relevant institutions are also discussed in this paper. It is however recommended that these laws and institutions be strengthened to ensure adequate regulation of the players and general activities in the Maritime industry.
