The Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA) has published its 2025 year in review, reporting 83 case references with a total claim quantum of US$208.2m and an average claim value of approximately US$2.78m, representing year-on-year increases of 112% and 135% respectively.

It also notes industry engagement through seminars, workshops and the biennial SCMA Conference, and confirms that Singapore will host the International Congress of Maritime Arbitrators (ICMA) XXIII from 22–27 March 2026.

Second Circuit rejects ambiguous appellate waiver in Arbitration Agreement

Arbitration analysis: On 6 February 2026, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that a contractual waiver of the ‘right to appeal’ was not clear and unequivocal and therefore could not preclude the appellate court from reviewing the district court’s judgment on the arbitral award. Practitioners should note that ambiguous or overly broad appellate waivers are unlikely to bar review, reinforcing the need for precise drafting of waiver clauses and for anticipating potential appeals following award confirmation.
