The Mariner Physical Examination is required by the U.S. Coast Guard for merchant mariners applying for or renewing Merchant Mariner Credentials (MMC). This examination ensures seafarers are medically fit to perform their duties safely at sea.

The exam evaluates vision, hearing, physical capabilities, and general health. Specific requirements depend on the type of credential and vessel tonnage. Mariners must meet certain medical standards to be certified fit for duty.

BlueHive connects mariners with Coast Guard-approved medical examiners throughout our national network, making it easy to complete this required examination.

FMCSA Launches Motus — New U.S. DOT Registration System With Biometric Identity Verification

high

FMCSA rolled out Motus, the U.S. DOT Registration System, replacing the legacy network of loosely connected registration applications for motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and other regulated entities. Motus introduces mandatory identity verification using government-issued IDs and digital facial scans plus third-party business validation, targeting the "chameleon" and reincarnated carriers that exploited the old low-validation framework. Carriers need a Login.gov account to access Motus and must use the same account previously tied to their FMCSA Portal access to retain their registration data.
