The financial crisis of 2007-08 saw a marked increase in global shipping disputes that is still being felt today. In recent decades, arbitration has emerged as the dominant choice of dispute resolution in the global shipping industry, with the establishment of major maritime arbitration centres in London and New York, and the recent emergence of new centres such as Singapore and China. At the same time, the immense advances that have been made and continue to be made in engineering, technology, and communications have led to the emergence of innumerable new trade practices, common understandings, and usages within which goods are carried by sea across the world, but which, because of the widespread use of alternative fora for dispute resolution, may be invisible to and unrecognized by domestic laws. This book asks: What are the implications of widespread use of arbitration for the continued development of shipping law? Are national laws on shipping destined to become ossified and obsolete? Is a new lex maritima emerging? And, most importantly, what is the role of the arbitral process in the evolution of shipping law? --Book jacket

This contribution focuses on EU law as ordre public in the context of international commercial arbitration. In order to do so, the background of ordre public in this context and issues that arise in practice for domestic courts will first be outlined. Thereafter, the background to the accommodation strategies identifiedby Professor Bermann and the debate surrounding them will be outlined before a presentation of the Systembolaget case. Ananalysis of what we can learn from the case taking a Swedish perspective will follow. Finally, the broader EU law perspective will be discussed. First, whether recent case law on the duties of national courts to make references for preliminary ruling affects the accommodation strategies. Secondly, whether the principle of mutual trust may have any impact on the analysis.
