Maritime arbitration - a centred business

London maintains its position in the field.

London continues to dominate the market for international maritime arbitration, according to an analysis presented by the law firm HFW, accounting for more than 80% of all cases worldwide.


London handled 1,737 maritime arbitrations in 2019 – up by 14% on the previous year – which equates to around 83% of all international maritime arbitrations that year, according to HFW's analysis of data from major arbitral institutions around the world.


Singapore and Hong Kong – London's two strongest competitors – trailed with 229 and 124 international maritime arbitrations respectively in 2019. (mw)
