Abstract: In a period of lethargy regarding the rapprochement of rules related to maritime arbitration, given the many avatars that arbitration takes on today in maritime disputes, it is necessary to question the development of a borderless maritime arbitration law. In a perspective of international harmonization, we have wagered on the emergence of a common maritime arbitration law through two legal instruments: an international Convention and an international jurisdiction. This is a winning combination in favor of the growth of maritime arbitration, but also of economic relations. Developing a common law dedicated to maritime arbitration is not simply an academic exercise. It responds to a real need, both immediate and future. The expected benefits of Lex arbitrii maritima are enormous and will manifest in many ways.
