HMAA Where Maritime Profesionals Arbitrate, Mediate, and Resolve
Slide 1

HOUSTON MARITIME ARBITRATORS ASSOCIATION (HMAA)

Serving the Maritime, Oil & Gas, Energy and Transportation Industry

A shipping, energy or transportation dispute does not have to end up in court. HMAA gives the parties access to arbitrators, mediators and expert witnesses who have worked in the business the dispute came from, under published rules written to keep the process fast and affordable.

Ways to Resolve a Dispute

Not every dispute can be settled by agreement. An HMAA arbitrator hears the matter and issues a binding decision, under rules agreed before the process begins.

Read the Rules

Some disputes are better settled by the parties themselves. An HMAA mediator assists them in reaching an agreement, and the settlement remains theirs to determine.

Find a Mediator

Certain matters turn on technical or commercial detail. HMAA members give independent evidence on those points, drawing on experience in the industries concerned.
