Be a voice in the development of maritime and international trade arbitration in Singapore. There are opportunities for members to join the various SCMA committees and embark on overseas promotion trips.

SCMA also engages members regularly. Feedback from members is very important and taken seriously by SCMA.

SCMA organizes various events such as tea talks, seminars and workshops throughout the year. In addition, SCMA organizes a Conference and Distinguished Speaker Series on alternate years.

These events present great networking opportunities as they are attended by local and overseas professionals from the arbitration, legal, maritime, international trade, government, judiciary and academic communities.

SCMA’s case load is increasing year on year. Correspondingly, requests from disputing parties for Chairman appointments of arbitrators are on the rise and member arbitrators see increased opportunities for appointment.

Besides the vast networking opportunities, members get a chance to share and showcase their expertise and experience in the various SCMA events.

In addition, members can also contribute articles which will be uploaded onto SCMA’s website. 

All members are able to tap into a rich vein of information, connectivity and industry development through timely email flashes for their marketing plans and informative updates.

From 1 January 2022, all members will enjoy a 10% discount on all fees and charges for SCMA services where they are involved as one of the parties to the arbitration.
