Maritime arbitration in numbers: London rebounds as Singapore and Hong Kong maintain momentum

In its seventh edition, HFW’s new report, “Maritime Arbitration in Numbers: London Rebounds as Singapore and Hong Kong Maintain Momentum”, provides a comparative analysis of maritime arbitration activity in London, Singapore and Hong Kong, based on the most recent statistics from the leading maritime arbitral bodies in those jurisdictions.

The report examines whether London has strengthened its position as the leading global centre for maritime arbitration following a significant increase in new references, while also considering the continued growth and competitiveness of Asia’s leading arbitral hubs.

Since 2018, HFW has monitored and analysed maritime arbitration activity across major arbitral institutions and associations. This latest edition reviews the most recent available statistics, explores trends in maritime dispute resolution, and highlights legislative and procedural developments that may influence the future attractiveness of the world’s leading arbitration seats.
