Overview

Marine Crew Health Insurance Coverage

With the nature of their job, active crewmembers of vessels require flexible health insurance protection. This is due to the fact that these workers are often on the ocean for months at a time, sailing from country to country on board their ship.

Without a permanent residential address in a fixed location, and with the ever present risks these individuals encounter on the high seas, it has been a challenge for sailors and crewmen to obtain the comprehensive medical protection they need.

CCW global can provide extensive health insurance options to active sailors which allow for Global Coverage including a sailor’s home country. These plans also do not require a fixed residential address, meaning that they are perfect for sailors who will spend the majority of a year on board a vessel sailing from place to place.  In fact, one of the only requirements for Marine Health Insurance coverage is that the individual purchasing the protection is employed on an ocean going ship.

Outside of the fact that marine health insurance coverage can protect sailors around the world, these policies also offer specific coverage benefits designed to ensure that healthcare is available to crew members, even in distant and remote locations – with Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation protection, sailors no longer have to worry about suffering from a medical emergency on the open ocean knowing that they will receive medical assistance anywhere on earth.
