ASSESSMENT SCOPE

Fitness for sea service

Seafarer medical certificates in Poland are issued by authorised physicians under the Act of 5 August 2015 on maritime work; decisions can be challenged through the statutory appeal procedure. Our opinion does not replace the certificate or that procedure. It can organise the records and show whether they contain medical arguments — as material for you or your lawyer.

Questions for the physician

  • What health limitations are documented?
  • Are there conflicting assessments that need clarification?
  • What examinations or information are missing for a medical assessment?

Records for subsequent review

  • Medical certificate, decision and reasons, if provided.
  • Specialist test results and a description of duties on board.

INEM Cloud

Do not send records by email or through the form. After agreeing the scope, we provide the separate protected INEM Cloud channel. Your initial enquiry should contain only the purpose of the report, without health details.

We do not issue seafarer medical certificates or statutory decisions, do not examine patients in Poland and do not assess legal claims. We do not promise any outcome. An enquiry does not suspend appeal or claim deadlines.
