(MARTINSBURG, W.Va.) — A system error affected the limitations and restrictions section shown on medical certificates issued between July 25 and Sept. 3, the National Maritime Center (NMC) announced Monday.
In some cases, a limitation of “YES” may be listed in error. In other cases, a valid limitation or restriction may be listed as a “NO” on the certificate.
All issued medical certificates remain valid. Corrected medical certificates for those mariners affected will be issued during the next month to ensure clarity of limitations and restrictions.
Mariners are advised to review their medical certificates for accuracy. The National Maritime Center is actively addressing this matter to ensure all issued medical certificates reflect clear and accurate information.
