Crew Medical Insurance: Health Check
Depending on the provisions of the crew employment contracts, flag state requirements, local country legislation and also whether MLC applies, it is important for owners to ensure their crew are adequately insured 24/7 for illness, accidents, sick wages and repatriation. These can be the most complex and contentious claims, dealing with someone’s health is an emotive subject, and therefore all the options should be reviewed before a decision is made.
