We provide initial and periodic medical examinations for seafarers as required by law. The examination assesses the employee’s physical and mental fitness to perform duties at sea.
Who is this service for?
A seafarer’s medical examination is required for organisations whose employees work or are about to start working at sea and need a valid medical certificate. The examination helps assess whether an employee’s health status allows them to perform their duties safely in the maritime working environment.
