Dear Member:
 
PRE-EMPLOYMENT MEDICAL EXAMINATION (PEME) PROGRAM:  NEW CLINIC IN KHERSON, UKRAINE AND GUIDANCE FOR MANNING AGENTS ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE PEME PROGRAM
 
Your Managers are pleased to report the further development of the Club’s PEME program.
 
Additional clinic added in Kherson
 
With immediate effect, the following clinic has been authorized:

Guidance for manning agents as to Compliance with the PEME program
 
Requests have recently been received from Members to provide guidance for manning agents on compliance with the Club’s PEME program.  In response, your Managers attach hereto Guidance for Manning Agents on Compliance with the American Club Pre-Employment Medical Examination (PEME) Program.  This is intended to apply primarily to manning agents supplying seafarers from India, Indonesia, Latvia, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.
 
In addition, as Members are aware, guidance regarding the PEME program has also been provided in regard to seafarers from nations not requiring PEMEs at Club approved clinics as per Club Circular 25/08 of November 25, 2008.  This guidance was also provided in Mandarin Chinese translation in Club Circular 12/09 of April 2, 2009.  The attached guidelines will also be relevant to manning agents who supply seafarers from nations in which the PEME scheme is not at present mandatory.
 
Members are recommended to pass the attached guidance to their manning agents at the earliest opportunity.  It is also recommend that Members ensure that the results of PEME examinations are provided to Members from manning agents and the results are verified from the checklist attached.
 
Members should contact Dr. William Moore, Senior Vice President at +1 212-847-4542, or by e-mail at william.moore@american-club.com, if they have any questions in regard to the attached or generally.
 
Yours faithfully,
  
Joseph E.M. Hughes, Chairman & CEO
