About DGS medical examiners
What to check before your seafarer medical
A fitness certificate from a non-approved doctor is not valid for DGS purposes. Always verify the doctor's current approval status before your appointment.
Under the Merchant Shipping (Medical Examination) Rules, seafarers must obtain a fitness certificate from a DGS-approved medical examiner. The certificate is required before joining any vessel and for most pre-sea training courses.
