This dissertation was written as part of the LLM in Transnational and European Commercial Law, Arbitration, Mediation and Energy Law at the International Hellenic University. My dissertation includes an examination and comparison of the rules of some of the most important Maritime Arbitration Institutions and particularly the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA), Emirates Maritime Arbitration Centre (EMAC), Transport and Maritime Arbitration in Rotterdam – Amsterdam (TAMARA), Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA), China Chamber of International Commerce, Maritime Arbitration Association (MAA), Society of Maritime Arbitrators (SMA) and Hong Kong Maritime Arbitration Group (HKMAG). The rules analyzed in this thesis are only the basic rules of arbitration in maritime disputes, because of the difficulty of examining and comparing in detail all maritime arbitration rules . In this dissertation there will be examined the issues included in maritime arbitration, the number of arbitrators required for the arbitration procedure, the stage of hearings in maritime arbitration and the evidence provided, the special measures of the proceedings provided in the rules of the abovementioned Institutions, the issuance of the award and the costs of arbitration.
