Fitter crews and fewer claims: PEME's 18-year achievement
THE UK P&I Club's Pre-Employment Medical Examination programme (PEME), a scheme for assessing the fitness of prospective seafarers, has just completed its 300,000th examination, the maritime insurer has announced.
The exam of Edward Nefuda, a second engineer from Hong Kong's Anglo-Eastern Crew Management was successfully passed fit at the Halcyon Clinic in Manila, said the UK P&I Club statement.
For the past 18 years, the PEME programme has provided crew with a health check before going to sea while protecting shipowners from claims arising from medical conditions existing prior to employment.
"It is the leading loss prevention initiative managed by the UK P&I Club, and the most extensive and comprehensive programme of its kind. It has long proved itself by reducing the volume and level of claims, saving huge sums for shipowners and P&I insurers," said the press release.
Said PEME chief Sophia Grant: "We constantly strive for continual improvement in prescribed standards and programmes focused on seafarers' welfare. PEME's achievements are clear: fewer claims, safer ships, less disruption and fitter and healthier crews."
