USPH
UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH

Every maritime specialist recognizes the abbreviation "USPH" (United States Public Health) and understands the level of work, know-how and sense of responsibility on the part of the employees on board necessary, in order to reach and maintain the current requirements of USPH standard.

We have a wealth of experience in the area of hygiene and especially USPH. Our specialist member of staff has regularly attained evaluation scores between 98 and the maximum 100 on several ships – and not only on new ships, but also on cruise ships more than 30 years old.

This is a result of his specialist knowledge of the rules and regulations in different ports around the world: knowledge acquired both through personal acquaintance with various inspectors and his understanding of the major issues they consider during their inspections. This enabled him to develop a continuous on-board training program.

The following countries currently implement the American Public Health standard:

These kinds of inspections must be expected in every country worldwide. The authorities have the right to make such inspections and do so at will.
