Competence and dynamism

MMS is an Italian company offering medical, transportation and additional services for crew members and passengers of cruise ships and all types of vessels.

We are present in major Italian ports and collaborate with many providers you can rely on to get the best value for money. We also rely on foreign providers of great quality and expertise to expand our service outside Italy as well.

We have developed an extensive network of specialists and transporters that is constantly expanding and evolving.
Our staff is activated as soon as the request is received and seeks availability for booking specialist examinations, PEME and for medical and non-medical transport.

Our goal is to continually improve and expand our expertise, skills, and range of services to offer our customers the best possible experience ashore.

The PEME project

An important aspect we are developing at the moment is pre-embarkation visits (PEME), in Italy and four continents: Europa, Asia, Africa and South America.

The companies require us to arrange analysis, tests and examinations for their crew members in order to let them board and work aboard the ships with a valid certificate.

We already collaborate with a number of medical centers to conduct the tests necessary for certification and, from time to time, we find contracts and make agreements with new clinics and laboratories with which we can also collaborate in the future and organize our clients' examinations.

In addition, we rely on providers who work all over the world and support us to search for PEME/REMEs outside Italy as well.

Michael S. Guest, Civitavecchia

“Federica has been our liaison here from your company. We just want you to know we love her and she has been so very supportive and helpful. She has enabled us to stay upbeat during this difficult time and has been so kind and understanding. Our situation would be untenable without the support we are receiving from Federica during our stay here. She has been able to explain everything to us and answer all of our questions. The unknown was the worst for us and she has made us feel so much better and relieved lots of stress for us. She is a great ambassador for MMS in our opinion and just a dear person we shall never forget."

Our Services

Medical Referrals

Our core business over the years has been the organization of medical services for seafarers and ship passengers.

We receive requests for examinations and usually find the requested appointment in a very short time, as well as round-trip transportation, with stopover included.

We take care of the translation of the report from Italian to English and sometimes on-site support with our own staff.

The service is available in Italy and Europe.

News

PEME, REME and SPECIALIST VISITS are available in Italy and four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America)

Due to Marine Medical Service's entry into an international network, it will be possible to request our services not only within the national territory but also in Europe and many countries around the world.

The providers we lean on are reliable and professional so that we can offer the best service. We are continuously expanding and improving to be able to meet the widest possible number of requests.

Day by day we expand our network of collaborators, laboratories and occupational health centers through which visits can be arranged in a short time. We are adequately preparing for the upcoming cruise season, continuing with our work on research and establishing partnerships with various centers.

We also value mental health care, promptness in gathering information for proper diagnosis and prescription of effective treatment that can be carried out even when the patient is on board a ship in the middle of the sea, unable to go ashore.
Telemedicine is therefore useful for this purpose.

TELEMEDCINE SERVICE

The shipboard hospital can be a useful ally in treating minor medical issues of seafarers and ship passengers. When rapid intervention is required but the ship is in the middle of the sea, specialist visits ashore are not possible to be arranged.

To diagnose in time and treat special medical conditions or to support the shipboard team, there is the telemedicine service.

It consists of calls with physicians specialized in various fields who, upon request, can perform remote examinations with patients to diagnose and treat diseases or obtain prescriptions valid in countries where certain medicines can be obtained.

This service can be requested in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Once we receive the request, we will immediately take action to arrange an appointment with the doctor in English or the patient's language, when possible.
