Marine medicals, also known as seafarer medical examinations, are essential assessments conducted on individuals seeking employment in the maritime industry. These medical examinations are mandated by international maritime regulations, such as the International Labour Organization's Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) and the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) Code. The primary purpose of marine medicals is to ensure that seafarers are physically and mentally fit to perform their duties safely at sea. These examinations typically cover a range of health parameters, including vision, hearing, cardiovascular health, respiratory function, and overall fitness. Additionally, they may include assessments for communicable diseases to prevent the spread of illnesses onboard vessels. Seafarers are typically required to undergo periodic medical examinations to ensure that they maintain the necessary health standards throughout their careers at sea. The goal is to safeguard the well-being of seafarers and maintain a high standard of health and safety within the maritime industry.
