The London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA)

The London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) is an organization based in London that provides a framework for resolving disputes in the shipping and maritime industry through arbitration. Arbitration is a process where an independent third party makes decisions to settle disagreements, often faster and less formally than in court. The LMAA establishes guidelines and promotes best practices for maritime arbitration, ensuring fair and efficient resolution of issues related to shipping contracts, cargo disputes, and other maritime concerns. It is widely recognized and respected in the maritime community, facilitating cooperation and trust among industry participants.
