The global maritime community has witnessed significant changes in the industry over the last decade. Trade wars, developments in regulatory compliance and economic policies, and digital disruptors each present unique opportunities and unprecedented challenges for the entire maritime chain. The way the industry conducts its business, and resolve its disputes, has also evolved.

In this milestone year, the Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA) is proud to partner with our members and friends, bringing together industry professionals, business leaders and legal practitioners for our first decennial conference. Experienced professionals and thought leaders will discuss these issues and debate how maritime dispute resolution services will evolve to meet the needs of the global maritime community.

The conference has been granted 6 CPD points and the Maritime Cluster Fund training grant is available for eligible participants (application is based on order of registration and payment).

SCMA is currently offering an additional 5% discount for the bulk purchase of 5 passes made in a single payment.

About the Organizer

The Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA) was originally established in November 2004 and was under management by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). Acting on industry feedback, the SCMA was reconstituted in May 2009 and started functioning independently, with funding from Singapore Maritime Foundation.

The aim of the SCMA is to provide a framework for maritime arbitration which is responsive to the needs of the maritime community. The SCMA has members drawn from all sectors of the maritime community internationally and there is no distinction in the class of membership or their entitlements.

Management of the SCMA is overseen by a board of directors, led by Chairman, Mr. Goh Joon Seng.
