Overview
What is a
Merchant
Mariner physical?
Mariners applying for an original or renewed Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) must show they meet U.S. Coast Guard medical and physical standards. That evaluation is documented on the CG-719K, the Merchant Mariner. Credential Medical Evaluation Report.
Our practice focuses entirely on this exam: a thorough evaluation and an accurate, fully completed CG-719K you can include with your application.
Good to know
The CG-719K must be completed by a licensed physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner.
Your exam is part of your application to the National Maritime Center (NMC) for an original or renewed credential.
Drug testing (CG-719P) is a separate requirement and is not part of this service.
