Abstract
Maritime disputes are considered to be a special kind of claims that require specialized investigation. In the current Iranian model, attention was paid to this issue very late and it is criticized in this respect. After repeated follow-ups by the Ports and Shipping Organization and the National Iranian Oil Tanker Company, the bill for establishing a maritime court was sent to the parliament, which still remains ignored. This research was carried out using a descriptive analytical method and its purpose is to evaluate the Iranian model of resolving maritime disputes. It was concluded that specific details such as time and place limits in some issues were not included in the new bill and at the same time qualifications were not considered. Therefore, the current model, assuming success, is flawed and needs to be revised. It is necessary to pay attention to the concerns of both national oil tankers and ports and shipping companies. At the same time, it is recommended that the Islamic Council should expedite the review of the said bill.
