Crew's health certificate is an indispensable document for crew to take up their posts and work on board. It is a written occupational medical certificate that shows that the physical condition of the crew can effectively perform their duties. Its importance is self-evident. However, in the usual law enforcement process, law enforcement officers found that many seafarers still have doubts about the importance of health certificates, how to handle them, how long to manage them, and where to handle them. Next, I will answer your question about sailors' friends.
Does everyone need to apply for a health certificate when boarding the ship? What if it's not?
According to the second paragraph of Article 13 of the Maritime Traffic Safety Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), China crew members shall apply to the maritime administrative agency for a seaman's competency certificate and obtain a health certificate in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws and administrative regulations on crew management. If the seamen do not hold the seamen's health certificate or the health certificate does not meet the conditions stipulated in Article 97, the maritime administrative agency will impose a fine of not less than 3,000 yuan but not more than 30,000 yuan on the responsible seamen. If the circumstances are serious, six seamen's competency certificates will be temporarily withheld.
Oh, my God, a health certificate can be so serious. What do you mean you don't have a health certificate that doesn't meet the requirements?
In order to meet the requirements, the applicant must first meet the certification standards, be at least 16 years old and be in good health. Secondly, it is necessary to go to a physical examination institution with the ability to identify the occupational health status of seafarers announced by the maritime administrative agency for physical examination. After the physical examination is completed, he can get the certificate directly in the hospital. Remember to bring your ID card and four recent four-inch bareheaded photos on a white background. )
Besides, not all hospitals can. You can check the medical institutions in China Maritime official website. For your convenience, I also compiled the detailed information of the hospital for you.
Thank you. What does this health certificate look like and what does it specifically include?
Let me show you a health certificate and introduce it to you.
Is the validity of this health certificate the same for everyone?
No, the general health certificate is valid for no more than 2 years; If the age of the crew applying for the health certificate is less than 18, the validity period of the health certificate shall not exceed 1 year; The expiration date of validity shall not exceed the holder's 65th birthday.
What should I do if my health certificate expires?
If the health certificate expires, the crew of the seagoing ship should apply for a new health certificate. If the validity of the health certificate expires during the voyage, the health certificate will remain valid until it reaches the next port of call recognized by the State party, but the period shall not exceed 3 months. In case of emergency, the maritime administrative agency may allow seafarers whose health certificates have recently expired to work at the next port by doctors recognized by the contracting state, but the permit period shall not exceed 3 months.
What should I do if my health certificate is lost or damaged?
If you lose your health certificate, you should publish a report on the loss in a national newspaper, and you can reissue it 30 days later; If there is any damage, the original health certificate must be returned before it can be reissued. Apply to the original license issuing agency for renewal, and the validity period of the renewed health certificate is the same as that of the original health certificate.
I see. Thank you for your answers.
In recent years, many illegal organizations and individuals have cheated under the guise of acting as health certificates. I hope that the crew will keep their eyes open and apply for health certificates in accordance with formal channels and legal methods.
