Authors
The initiative to produce the textbook was taken by the Norwegian Centre for Maritime Medicine. Authors were selected from the maritime medicine centres mainly in Europe, but not exclusively. All authors are highly reputed professionals who were asked to cover fields in which they are particularly competent. However, we invite any expert within maritime medicine to contribute to the product by giving comments and/or supplements to the present material. We also welcome users to participate in the discussion forum. Read more
 
Eighteen Chapters Plus

At the launching in November 2009 the product comprises 18 chapters written by experts in the field of maritime medicine. To mention but a few, the contents cover topics such as medical fitness, ESH aspects, fisheries, cruise medicine, offshore industry, trade shipping, port medicine and telemedical maritime assistance.
