In May of 2012, for the second time in 21 years, the Vancouver Maritime Arbitrators Association hosted the International Congress of Maritime Arbitrators (ICMA). This prestigious event is held every two to three years to facilitate maritime arbitrators from around the world to get together to discuss developments in alternate dispute resolution in the shipping industry.
Hosting this conference promoted Vancouver as a commercial centre, highlighted Vancouver as a location for dispute resolution and showcased our Association as a premier maritime arbitration and mediation organisation, not only in Vancouver but across Canada.
