Maritime Arbitration Group
Formed
in February 2000 as a Division of the Hong Kong International
Arbitration Centre, the Maritime
Arbitration Group has the specific aim
of the promotion of the development and use of Maritime Arbitration
and
Mediation
in Hong Kong. Other aims include the encouragement and
fostering of a spirit of friendly collaboration amongst its members and
with members of similar institutions or other professional bodies, and
the facilitation of the exchange of information and ideas in relation
to maritime arbitration and mediation.
Membership of the Maritime Arbitration Group is subject to approval by
the Group Committee and is open to any individual interested in
Maritime Arbitration and with commercial or legal experience in
maritime fields and an understanding of the arbitral process.
A list of members and their details is available for download below,
from which parties are able to select one or more arbitrators to hear
their dispute. The list does not supercede the Panel maintained by the
Centre, and appointments of arbitrators from the list remain at the
risk of the party making the appointment. The list does, however,
provide the industry with a source of experienced maritime
professionals with experience also in arbitration matters.
Also available below is a list of Mediators accredited by the Hong Kong
International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) and with Maritime experience.
Also in February 2000, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre
adopted two new procedures, one for 'Documents
Only' disputes and the
other for 'Small Claims'.
These are available for download below. Both
sets of procedures have been adopted, with permission, substantially
unchanged from those used by the London Maritime Arbitrators
Association (LMAA). The only amendment has been to exchange the stated
fees to Hong Kong dollars.

HKIAC Small Claims Procedure
(Last
updated 4th July 2003)
This
procedure is suitable for use in arbitrations where neither the claim
nor any counterclaim exceeds the sum of US$ 50,000. It is not suitable
for use where there are complex issues or where there is likely to be
examination of witnesses, but may be suitable for handling larger
claims where there is a single issue at stake.
