mediation

In the present times of continuing record low freight rates for owners, and with the advantages such rates provide charterers, there is an ever-increasing tendency for disputes in our industry.

The International shipping industry embodies all aspects of commerce and law.  The criteria for the settlement of disputes are becoming more complex and expensive.  It can also be time consuming.

Mediation is a cost effective means of resolution when conducted by an experienced shipping professional. It has the instant dynamic advantage of a structure that is lacking in long-running arbitration or court actions. It is a more peaceful and internationally accepted low-cost solution to the ending of conflict.

As a neutral facilitator, an experienced mediator creates an atmosphere that should lead to a compliant agreement, all within reasonable confidentiality and control. It results in a compliant contract between the two parties, achieved by the neutrality of the mediator.

The very important level of competency based upon many years of experience in the shipping industry, is an incentive for our clients to engage our mediation services.
