What is a maritime doctor / maritime physician?

A maritime doctor is a doctor approved by the Maritime Directorate to perform medical examinations for people who are going to work on ships or pursue maritime education.

After the examination, you will receive a maritime health certificate, also known as a seafarer’s certificate. This document confirms that you meet the health requirements according to current regulations. It is valid for up to two years (or one year if you’re under 18).

The certificate is required for both Norwegian and foreign employers in shipping and maritime education.
