Analysis of the Trend of Maritime Arbitration as a Means of Resolving Maritime Disputes in the UK

The LMAA is the most important institution in maritime arbitration in London. Members of the LMAA constitute the majority of London Maritime Arbitrations. The number of LMAA arbitrators appointed in 2020 was 3,010, the highest since 2015, confirming the high general awareness of the LMAA in dispute resolution in the shipping industry. LMMA has published a new set of terms and conditions for all 'complete' proceedings (the 2021 edition of the LMAA Terms), the 2021 edition of the LMAA Medium Arbitration Proceedings and the 2021 edition of the LMAA Small Claims Procedure. All are effective as of May 1, 2021, and apply to new arbitrations commenced after that date. While some amendments are only fine-tuning of the rules, others are particularly important in light of the recent challenges posed by the global pandemic of COVID-19. After analyzing statistics on maritime disputes, this study compares and analyzes maritime arbitrations in London, New York and Singapore. In addition, after analyzing the role of the court in the arbitration procedure and the specific problems in maritime arbitration, the considerations of British maritime arbitration after Brexit are considered.
