With deep roots in maritime safety and security, we have the industry experience to serve your maritime needs.
From comprehensive risk management services to onboard medical staffing to rigorous workplace safety consulting, we are the perfect fit to manage the health and well-being of your maritime employees.
We have served maritime vessels in various offshore worksites over the past few decades, including:
- Offshore Oil and Gas Production
- Offshore Wind Energy
- Shipping and Logistics
- Commercial Fishing
- And More
Our Approach
Offshore Expertise
When at sea, maritime vessels are particularly vulnerable due to the unpredictable elements and the remote location. Whether on an offshore oil installation or an active commercial fishing vessel, our medical team has the experience, topside support, and global supply chain to care for your organization’s employees while at sea.
Integrated Medical Support
With one integrated workplace health and safety partner, you can increase the effectiveness of your medical care while reducing onboard headcount and management time. We can support your vessel with the full range of medical services you’ll need while at sea — including medical staffing, safety staffing, telemedicine and topside support, case management, evacuation services, and medical emergency response plans.
We also offer QHSE Advisors to ensure adherence to your QHSE Safety and Management System (SMS). Our QHSE Advisors typically hold a NEBOSH International Certificate (or equivalent) and a BOSIET certificate.
Continuity of Care
Evacuating or transferring crew members to an onshore clinic can be very costly. With trained maritime medical professionals onboard, you can significantly reduce recordable injuries through preventive practices and treat most injuries onboard to keep costs to a minimum. If transfer is absolutely necessary, our case managers will oversee the entire process to ensure your employee gets the best care possible and returns safely to the vessel.
“Our employees work in some of the world’s harshest and most remote environments. We count on Remote Medical International to be there with us every step of the way, to help us prevent incidents from occurring, and if something were to occur, to help us minimize the problem and remedy the situation as quickly as possible.”

Maritime Project Successes
Seismic Vessels Offshore of Africa
To staff a project off the shore of Africa, a geophysical company requested both medical and safety staffing in response to strict health and safety requirements from the end client. We placed an QHSE Advisor and a physician on each vessel and worked diligently to deploy staff across multiple timelines and locations. We also ensured compliance with local regulations by working with local partners and offering flexible staffing options of both local national and expat personnel.
Global Shipping Company
We coordinate the pre-employment medical screening process for all of our client’s mariners. We also supply each vessel with medical equipment and a medical inventory management system.
U.S. Government Vessel Operator
We provide emergency medical advice to each of our client’s government owned and operated ships and units located throughout the world via our topside assistance service. The client’s onboard medical providers can contact our Global Coordination Center 24/7 and get connected to a physician for medical advice within minutes.
We also provide recommendations for those seeking professional medical treatment from other ships or ashore. We take into account what resources are necessary and available, distance from sources of professional medical treatment, and the expense of obtaining such treatment.
