"Since our launch, one of our key aims at EMAC is to unite experts from across the maritime dispute resolution sector, both regionally and internationally," said Majid Obaid bin Bashir, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of EMAC. "We are pleased to invite new members to join EMAC, who will not only benefit from our services, but will become an essential facet in our mission to create a regional centre of excellence and best international practice for maritime arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, on a par with other global maritime hubs."

Officially launched in Dubai on 2nd November, 2016, EMAC was established to offer an effective and efficient regional platform to settle maritime disputes using alternative dispute resolution. The centre was established in response to the UAE’s evolving maritime industry as it grows into one of the world’s most advanced and accessible maritime hubs, with a vision to promote excellence in maritime dispute resolution and provide the region with a trusted global standard for maritime dispute resolution services.

EMAC’s platform is based on memberships which aim to bring together maritime stakeholders across the globe. Applications are open for members from any profession irrespective of where they reside.
