Built around the operation
A clearer path through maritime medical requirements.
Maritime employers and individual mariners need accurate examinations, complete documentation and timely follow-up. Beeline coordinates qualified clinical access while keeping the Coast Guard's role and the examining practitioner's judgment clear.
Operational realities
The program has to fit the work.
Beeline starts with the practical conditions that shape employee access, clinical scope and program delivery.
02
Sensory requirements
Coordinate properly documented vision and color-vision testing rather than informal screening.
03
Variable schedules
Fit clinical access around vessel rotations, port calls and distributed employee locations.
04
Shore + vessel exposures
Connect appropriate hearing, respiratory and surveillance services to employer-identified hazards.
Recommended service stack
Medical and occupational services for maritime readiness.
Final services depend on the employer's identified requirements, employee population, clinical protocols and available qualified partners.

Delivery model
Care reaches the workforce in the setting that fits.
01
On-site
Fleet + terminal programsAppropriate exams and testing can be consolidated at a terminal, shipyard or employer location for larger groups.
02
In-clinic
Individual examinationsClinic access supports individual mariners, complete examinations and services requiring additional equipment.
03
Virtual
Preparation + follow-upDocument review and appropriate follow-up may occur virtually, but the physical examination itself requires an in-person practitioner.
Program boundaries
Clear roles make the program stronger.
The U.S. Coast Guard retains authority to determine whether an applicant meets medical and physical standards for credentialing.
USCG examinations and tests must be performed, witnessed or reviewed by a practitioner permitted under the applicable form and guidance.
Beeline coordinates access and documentation; it does not issue Merchant Mariner Credentials or Coast Guard medical certificates.

Common questions
What employers ask before building the program.
Does Beeline issue the USCG medical certificate?
No. Beeline coordinates the examination pathway. The U.S. Coast Guard evaluates the application and issues the medical certificate.
Can Beeline help with CG-719K examinations?
Beeline can coordinate access to an appropriately licensed practitioner for the examination and supporting documentation. The correct form and requirements should be confirmed before scheduling.
Can color vision be tested during the exam?
Yes, when the location has an accepted test and the result is documented appropriately. The current Coast Guard instructions should guide the selected method.
Can maritime employers arrange a group event?
Yes. Workforce size, location, services, forms and vessel schedule determine whether on-site delivery or coordinated clinic appointments are the better fit.
