Maritime Services

Whether it is a broken pelvis in the North Atlantic after a fall in bad weather, a case of Malaria Falciparum after a visit to Africa, or a heart attack in the Pacific, MRI is there all the time to support the seafarer, the ship owner and his agents , and the P & I Association and their correspondents.

Since 1988 we have been responding to medical emergencies involving seafarers. Our patients are often left behind by their ship in the more remote areas of the earth where local agents and insurance correspondents welcome the wealth of medical experience we bring to the case. Sometimes our advice and reassurance is all that is needed, and at other times full involvement to bring the patient safely home.
