While each Captain's license applicant must be evaluated for their physical competence individually, the conditions described in this Mariners Learning System online instructional video are those that have been considered disqualifying by the medical and maritime communities for Captain's Licensing purposes.
Waivers may be considered where extenuating circumstances are such to warrant special consideration and it can be demonstrated that the applicant can perform safely the duties of the license or merchant mariner document.
The guidelines apply to all merchant marine physical examinations and should be provided to medical personnel for use in conjunction with the physical examination form (CG-719K or equivalent).
