Seafarer students are individuals undergoing maritime training to become certified seafarers. They are required to develop the necessary skills and knowledge for vessel operations, maintenance, and onboard life management. A seafarer’s role demands proficiency in handling complex navigational, engineering, and cargo equipment while ensuring the well-being of crew members. Given the demanding nature of this profession, a high level of focus, agility, and physical fitness is essential. Thus, seafarer students must undergo a specialized medical examination tailored to their future roles at sea.
The purpose of the medical examination is to ensure that seafarer students are medically fit to perform both routine and emergency duties at sea. It also verifies that they do not have any medical conditions that could be aggravated by maritime life. Failing to meet the required health standards may render a student unfit for service, posing a risk not only to themselves but also to the safety of their future crew members.
