SCMA Enforcement Series 2026: Arbitration of maritime disputes - A Myanmar perspective
Allen & Gledhill Partner Kang Yanyi contributed an article titled “Arbitration of maritime disputes: A Myanmar perspective” to the SCMA Enforcement Series 2026, published by the Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration.
When Myanmar’s economy opened up in or around 2011, there was a significant increase in the flow of foreign direct investment into the country. This was accompanied with legal reforms to ensure that there is a strong legal framework to attract and protect foreign investment, as well as to provide a better environment for all investors to do business. Consequently, various new laws such as the Companies Law, the Arbitration Law, the Investment Law, and the Insolvency Law were enacted.
In contracts involving foreign parties, arbitration has been a preferred mechanism used in settling disputes.
This article discusses arbitration and maritime law in Myanmar to provide insights to investors interested in Myanmar.
