Your certificate of medical fitness questions answered

HTML

Details

By the end of November 2023, fishermen working on a UK vessel must have a certificate of medical fitness either the ML5 or ENG1.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) advertised the requirement earlier this year, and since then we have received lots of your questions, thoughts and feedback.

We want you to be as prepared as possible ahead of the requirement coming into force, so weve created guidance to answer all of your medical certificate questions.
