Our services
We understand that the offshore industry can be unpredictable, from changes in weather to unexpected illness. This requires a flexible labour force that can be sent offshore quickly. For this reason we strive for an "anywhere, anytime" policy where on short notice a doctor is sent on location (either the hotel where your workforce is staying, or on location near a port. A comprehensive medical examination is performed with all the necessary requirements and a (digital) certificate is provided directly after the medical. We ensure the safety and well-being of offshore workers no matter the circumstances.
Offshore medical examinations.

The purpose of offshore medical examinations is to identify any pre-existing medical conditions that may pose a risk to the worker's health while working offshore. When this is the case, we evaluate case by case with which restrictions the candidate is still able to go offshore to perform their duties.
