ABSTRACT
Prevailing maritime relations in the present era resort to arbitration
to resolve arising disputes where parties of these relations should agree on
the solution to the current or future conflicts arising from them to a
specialist arbitrators of their choice known for their competence and
experience in the maritime field to adjudicate the provisions of the
arbitration binding. Maritime arbitration
grew since the time of the Romans, and spread to the Middle Ages as a simple,
flexible and specialized system to resolve maritime disputes, but it gained
popularity in the present era as a result of booming international trade and
commerce between different countries where this trade found that shipping is
the best way among different means of transportation for its low costs and the
large volume of cargo transported by it. Marine disputes submitted for arbitration are many and varied, some of
which comes from the contract between the stakeholders and others arising from
maritime accidents, and examples of the first group is the shipbuilding,
repair, sold, leased and insured contracts , the transport of goods or people
contracts, marine sales contracts as well as the diameter of maritime
contracts. The second group is maritime collision, Assistance and Rescue and the
settlement of joint naval losses. London and New York
are considered of the most cities in the world that embrace this type of
arbitration followed by Paris and Tokyo. In London alone there are more than
four hundred nautical arbitration rulings in each year.
