Do I need marine crew insurance?

As a professional marine crew member, you know that finding adequate medical coverage can be a challenge. The unique demands of your profession often can prevent you from getting the inclusive international health care plan you need and deserve.

What factors should I consider?

  • Specialist Care for the Marine Industry - Since 1990, our team has provided specialized insurance programs for captains, officers, and crew members. We understand the unique needs of crew professionals and have an entire marine division dedicated to it.

  • Medical Bills - Without a global health plan, you may be on the hook for costly medical bills, particularly if you require medical evacuation or repatriation.

  • Country Requirements - Some countries require coverage to get a visa, while others may not have adequate health facilities for the kind of care you need.

  • Access to Quality Medical Care - When living or traveling abroad for extended periods, you won't be covered by either public or private health plans in your home country, and you may not have access to the national health insurance program in your destination country.

  • Annually Renewable - International health insurance plans are often renewable annually or until your specified termination date.

  • Medical Travel Management - For members contemplating non-emergency medical treatment outside the United States, case managers can help identify a qualified provider and coordinate necessary services including patient care, travel, scheduling, and housing. When treatment is received outside the U.S., and there is a cost savings greater than $10,000 to the plan, the member can be financially compensated.

  • International Care Management - Our experienced medical management team can help coordinate care for your members who have highly complex cases requiring detailed management.

Choosing the right plan

We go a step further than your vessel's required Protection and Indemnity insurance by offering 24/7 emergency medical and travel assistance to crew members, exemplary claims handling and customer service, assistance finding treatment facilities, and coordination of emergency medical evacuations.
