Medical Fitness

A medical fitness certificate is required by all seafarers who work on commercial ships.  A medical fitness certificate is also required for a new or upgraded certificate of competency for a fishing vessel.

 

Medical fitness certificates are issued to a seafarer following examination by an approved doctor.  The medical examination is to verify that seafarers meet the minimum requirements of medical fitness including hearing and eyesight.  

 

Anyone considering a career at sea is strongly advised to obtain a medical fitness certificate before embarking on any seagoing courses or training.
