A Doctor on Deck:
Healthcare at Sea is No Longer Optional
How telemedicine is protecting crew health, cutting operational costs, and meeting the ESG standards the industry now demands.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
⇥ Vessel owners and fishing company executives
⇥ Fleet operations and crewing managers
⇥ Ship captains and officers
⇥ Maritime HR and ESG leads
⇥ Maritime insurers and port health officers
⇥ Industry bodies regulators
WHY THIS MATTERS:
⇥ Seafarers are among the most medically isolated workers
⇥ Medical emergencies at sea are a leading cause of costly vessel diversions
⇥ MLC 2006 obligations demand adequate crew healthcare
⇥ Poor crew healthcare is a direct business risk - not just a welfare issue
⇥ Captains should not bear the burden of medical decision-making alone
