Seafarers Medical ENG1
Seafarers employed on ships must have a seafarer medical fitness certificate – in the UK this is an ENG1. The certificate confirms that you are medically fit to work on sea-going ships and that you do not have a medical condition that could be a danger to other crew, passengers or the vessel.
At our clinic in Nottingham, we are committed to delivering exceptional private doctor appointments that prioritise your well-being. Schedule your private doctor appointment today to take control of your health and receive the personalised care you deserve.
ENG-1 medicals can only be issued by MCA approved doctors in the UK and overseas. They are issued for a maximum of 2 years if the seafarer or fisherman is medically fit. Regulations require you to notify the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) of any changes to your medical fitness during the validity of the ENG 1.
The current fee for an ENG 1 is £115 and if you are employed in the UK, your employer may pay this; the limit is set in UK regulations. If you require any additional test e.g. a fitness Chester walk test or a heart trace (ECG) – this will be an additional charge.
What will you need to bring to the medical assessment?
- Photographic ID such as passport, driving licence, discharge book
- Previous medical fitness certificate
- Name and contact details for own GP
