Healthy seafarers are key to the safety of maritime operations. To reduce risks and avoid claims, we offer extended pre-employment medical examinations (extended PEMEs) for seafarers joining ships insured by Gard.

This service is available through trusted medical clinics located in both Manila and Cebu, Philippines. These clinics conduct thorough consultations and medical screenings – well beyond the minimum fit for duty requirements – to help identify potential health risks or underlying conditions before crew members embark. This proactive approach not only safeguards the health and wellbeing of seafarers but also contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of vessel operations. Want to learn more?
