Means of appeal in the international commercial maritime arbitration award -comparative analysis study-

This research aims to study the methods of the appeal of the provisions of international commercial maritime arbitration. The international conventions permitted the appeal by nullity against the arbitral award in limited cases. However, many local laws allowed the challenging of annulment against the arbitral award, and other countries allowed appeals and recourses against the arbitral award in specific cases exclusively.This study relies on a comparative analysis of international commercial arbitration agreements, arbitration laws, and regulations of maritime arbitration centers.The study finds that examining the experiences of various institutional maritime arbitration centers is significant to develop local ways of appealing against the arbitral award. These centers are preventing the judicial to reconsider arbitration disputes and are keeping the privacy of maritime arbitration.
