MCA-approved ENG1 seafarer medical examinations in Palmanova, Mallorca — available on weekdays and by appointment at weekends and out of hours.
Book direct →The British Medical Centre in Palmanova, Calvià is a well-established general practice serving the expatriate and visitor community on the south-west coast of Mallorca. Dr Amit Bajpai is an MCA-approved designated medical practitioner (DMP), authorised to carry out official ENG1 seafarer medical examinations under UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency regulations.
ENG1 examinations are conducted during normal weekday surgery hours at a fee of €175, with out-of-hours, weekend, and bank-holiday appointments available at €200. Bookings can be made by telephone, email, or WhatsApp, making it straightforward to arrange an appointment around a busy sailing schedule.
For crew based in Mallorca or calling in to the Balearics — whether working out of the Port of Palma, Portals Nous, or further along the south-west coast — the British Medical Centre offers a convenient English-speaking option for renewing or obtaining an ENG1 certificate without travelling to the UK mainland.
The ENG1 seafarer medical certificate is required for commercial seafarers under MCA regulations. It confirms fitness to serve at sea and is typically valid for two years (one year for seafarers aged 70 or over, or where a condition warrants it). The examination covers vision, hearing, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, and general physical fitness.
Fees are €175 on weekdays and €200 out of hours, at weekends, and on public holidays. Confirm current fees directly with the centre before attending.
