About this check: BMI is a screening indicator only — not a medical decision. The merchant-navy fitness band is roughly 18.5–25 ; a BMI of 30+ is typically a rejection at the DG Shipping medical. Final fitness is decided only by a DG Shipping-approved doctor, who also assesses height, vision, and overall health. HBIMS-NAF&SA is an admissions facilitation framework , not an MTI, and offers no admission or fitness assurance.
