Maritime Telemedicine  ·  24/7/365

A doctor for your crew,
anywhere at sea.

What we provide

Two levels of cover, one clinical team

From the first symptom to resolution — emergency support when something goes wrong, and quiet monitoring of the crew who need watching before it does.

Emergency & ongoing support

For acute cases and declared conditions
  • 24/7 remote consultation by phone, video and chat
  • Acute illness and injury, with first-line mental-health support
  • Oversight of crew with conditions flagged at their PEME
  • Specialist referral and evacuation guidance when needed

Proactive monitoring

For borderline cases cleared to sail
  • Scheduled check-ins with crew on one-year certificates
  • Health status recorded at every check-in
  • Early alert to the master if a condition deteriorates
  • Re-examination dates tracked so nothing lapses at sea

Set up programme by programme, together with the club's PEME provider.

How it works

From the ship to a clinical decision

A single, traceable path every time — so the master always knows what to do next, and the shipowner always has the record.

STEP 1

The crew makes contact

The vessel reaches our centre by phone, email or chat. The case is logged and triaged against red-flag criteria within minutes.

STEP 2

A doctor decides the plan

A doctor experienced in maritime medicine forms a hospital-grade plan — onboard treatment, follow-up, or a specialist opinion — in the crew's language.

STEP 3

Resolve onboard, or escalate

Most cases are resolved at sea. Where evacuation or diversion is advised, a senior doctor signs off and the owner receives a documented recommendation.

Built by people who know medicine and the sea

Global Crew Health is a joint venture bringing together clinical depth and maritime experience — hospital-backed protocols on one side, long-standing work with P&I clubs and shipowners on the other.

That means decisions your crew can trust, and documentation your claims team can rely on.
