PEME medical for seafarers, done right the first time.
PEME (pre-employment medical examination) is the medical your shipping company or manning agent asks for before you join a vessel. It is built on the DG Shipping medical — often called the ILO medical — plus any extra tests on your company’s own form.

The statutory DG Shipping medical is the base. Many companies add their own PEME format with extra tests — we complete it item by item in the same visit.

WhatsApp your company’s PEME form or joining letter to 9599941470. We check the test list in advance so nothing is missed on the day.

Frequently asked questions.
How long does the PEME process take?+
A complete maritime medical typically takes 3–4 hours. Because our West Delhi centre houses digital X-ray, premium ultrasound and an in-house pathology lab under one roof, there are no waiting loops or travel between locations.
When will my fitness certificate be issued?+
If all your reports fall within permissible limits, Dr. Nishant Thapar usually processes and uploads your certificate to the official DG Shipping portal within 24–48 hours of your checkup.
Is prior booking mandatory?+
We accommodate walk-ins based on daily slot availability, but we strongly recommend booking ahead. Prior booking ensures zero waiting time and lets us keep your company-specific PEME format ready before you arrive.
Can I pass with a pre-existing condition?+
A pre-existing condition doesn’t automatically mean rejection. Declare your history and prescriptions at registration; our certified examiner evaluates your current stability strictly against the latest DG Shipping guidelines.
What is the difference between PEME and the ILO (DG Shipping) medical?+
The ILO or DG Shipping medical is the statutory fitness certificate every Indian seafarer needs, issued by a DG Shipping-approved doctor and uploaded to the DG Shipping portal. PEME is the pre-employment medical your company asks for before you join; it includes the DG Shipping medical and may add company-specific tests or forms. Send your company’s PEME form on WhatsApp (9599941470) and we confirm the full test list before you visit.
How much does the DG Shipping medical (PEME) cost in Delhi?+
The cost of a DG Shipping PEME in Delhi depends on your role and your company’s specific test list. At Edge Marine Medicals we keep pricing transparent and all-inclusive — message us your requirement on WhatsApp (9599941470) for an exact quote before you visit.
Is there a DG Shipping approved doctor near me in West Delhi?+
Yes. Edge Marine Medicals is a DG Shipping approved centre in West Delhi (Raghubir Nagar, Tagore Garden Extension), easily reached from Paschim Vihar, Moti Nagar, Rajouri Garden, Punjabi Bagh, Janakpuri, Kirti Nagar, Nangloi and Vikas Puri — so West Delhi seafarers skip the South Delhi rush.
How long is the DG Shipping medical certificate valid?+
A standard DG Shipping fitness certificate is valid for two years. For seafarers under 18 or over 55, it is usually valid for one year. Plan your renewal a few weeks before your joining date so it never lapses.
What tests are included in the DG Shipping PEME?+
Your PEME covers a physical and vitals check, vision and colour-vision testing, pure-tone audiometry, ECG, digital chest X-ray, ultrasound, dental and ENT assessment, and a full pathology panel (blood sugar, CBC, lipid, LFT/KFT and infectious-disease screening) — all completed in-house in a single visit.
What are the DG Shipping medical fitness requirements?+
You need adequate visual acuity and colour vision for your role, satisfactory hearing, controlled blood pressure and blood sugar, a healthy BMI, sound dental and cardiac health, and clear infectious-disease screening — all assessed against the latest DG Shipping / MLC 2006 medical standards by our approved examiner.
