Medical examination in sea fishing
Sea fishermen always need a medical certificate to sail on vessels flying the Belgian flag. This is a certificate of medical fitness issued by a recognised medical practitioner.
A medical certificate must therefore be issued by a medical practitioner recognised by the Belgian Shipping Administration. A list of recognised Belgian medical practitioners and a list of recognised foreign medical practitioners have been drawn up for this purpose.
The page Medical practitioners recognised for issuing medical certificates contains more information on what you need to do to obtain a certificate of medical (un)fitness.
