Via the internet, medical examiners have access to ShipExam: the medical database of the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate, containing examination results.

Prior to the medical examination, the doctor will check the previous approvals and rejections. This with the purpose of avoiding doctor shopping.

At the end of the examination, the new results will be electronically recorded. 

Only appointed doctors have access to this data. The site is secured against unauthorised inquisitive persons.
