The Logistics Court of Arbitration at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce
In 2006, the Court of Arbitration of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce decided to set up a special set of arbitration rules for the logistics industry. They are tailored for the particular needs of this industry, in which the urgency of such proceedings is of prime importance.
Our court offers a fast, inexpensive and globally-recognised dispute settlement procedure of the highest quality. The worldwide enforceability of arbitral awards is an important advantage for international business. The Court of Arbitration works with qualified arbitrators with experience in the industry.
The Logistics Court of Arbitration at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce shall have jurisdiction if the parties have agreed to this. In drawing up contracts the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce recommends parties to include the following arbitration clause:
“All conflicts, which result from a context with this contract (exact name of the contract) or from its validity, will be settled by the Logistics Court of Arbitration at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce to the exclusion of courts of justice and under the application of the Amendment to the Rules for the Logistics Court of Arbitration at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce ........................ law shall apply to the proceedings.“
Please note: Please make sure that it is absolutely clear to which contract the arbitration clause refers and that the arbitration clause or the contract including the arbitration clause is signed by both parties!
