Dubai-headquartered Emirates Maritime Arbitration Centre (EMAC) is working to join London, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore as one of shipping’s preferred locations for resolving legal disputes.
But the organisation, which was launched in 2016, is not aiming to replace any of these centres. Rather, it is focused on becoming the arbitration tribunal of choice for regional shipping players in the Middle East, with the goal of supporting the maritime cluster of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
