Educational information only
SeafarerFit provides educational information, health calculators, screening tools and medical-examination preparation resources. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, medical certification or official determination of fitness for sea service.
Medical fitness for sea service must be determined through the applicable examination and certification process conducted by the relevant competent authority and/or appropriately authorized medical examiner.
SeafarerFit is not a healthcare provider
SeafarerFit is not a hospital, clinic, doctor, maritime administration or medical-certification authority. Use of the website does not create a doctor–patient or any other professional relationship.
Calculators and questionnaires
Calculator results and questionnaires are for general informational and preparation purposes only. They rely on population-level formulas and the information you enter, may not apply to your circumstances, and cannot replace a medical examination performed by an appropriately qualified/authorized medical examiner. Results never indicate that you are “fit”, “unfit”, “pass” or “fail”.
No guarantee of outcome
Nothing on SeafarerFit guarantees medical approval, a successful medical examination, the issue of a medical certificate, or employment eligibility.
Emergencies
If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact local emergency services immediately. At sea, inform the master or responsible officer and follow the ship’s medical procedures, including obtaining radio medical advice.
Accuracy
We work to keep information accurate and to show its source and review date, but requirements change and errors can occur. Always confirm requirements with the official source and your medical examiner.
