Denmark is transforming its demands for medical exams of seafarers as well as anglers will certainly be transformed. From September 1, it will certainly no more be a demand to hold a Danish Health Certificate when used on Danish ships.
Rasmus Høy Thomsen, Director, Danish Maritime Authority, claimed, “The change removes an administrative burden and at the same time making it easier to be a seafarer on Danish ships.”
In future, seafarers can utilize health and wellness certifications provided by an authorized maritime doctor in their very own nation.
This suggests that:
Seafarers are no more needed to go through a Danish medical exam or to hold a Danish health and wellness certification.
Seafarers need to remain in ownership of a legitimate health and wellness certification based upon a medical checkup carried out in a nation that has actually applied the STCW as well as the MLC conventions.
It is no more a demand for the shipmaster or the delivery firm to send out the health and wellness info of seafarers to the Danish Maritime Authority after medical exams accomplished abroad.
The seafarer should have the ability to offer a legitimate health and wellness certification whatsoever times throughout his/ her work. It depends on the shipmaster as well as the delivery firm to guarantee that the health and wellness certification fulfills the essential demands.
