The Society of Maritime Arbitrators of New York is pleased to announce the Fourteenth International Congress of Maritime Arbitrators will be held from Monday, October 22 through Friday, October 26, 2001, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
Members of the professional maritime community are invited to participate. The Congress will be of particular interest to individuals and firms involved in chartering, ship operation, brokerage, insurance and maritime law.

ICMA was first established during an international meeting of arbitrators (non-maritime) held in Moscow in 1973. The founders, among whom Cedric Barclay was the best known, determined that it would be a great opportunity for maritime arbitrators, worldwide, to meet and exchange views on maritime disputes in their respective countries. At approximately two year intervals since its founding, ICMA has been held at various major cities throughout the world. 

 ICMA XIV’s program will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to meet, network, teach, learn and exchange views on maritime arbitration topics with their international peers. Program events include the Cedric Barclay Memorial Lecture, presentation of professional papers, a mock arbitration, a grand banquet, special guest activities and optional tours. 

The Society of Maritime Arbitrators, Inc. (New York) is the host of ICMA XIV. Co-sponsors include leading law firms of the New York Maritime Bar, the Arbitration and Mediation Committee of the Maritime Law Association of the United States, the Association of Ship Brokers and Agents of the United States, the Maritime Association of the Port of New York/New Jersey, and the Connecticut Maritime Association.
