What service does CIRM provide to seamen worldwide?

• A. Free assistance and medical advice to seamen from all over the world
• B. Emergency evacuation services only
• C. Medical research funding
• D. Private hospital access for crew members

Answer: (A)

CIRM is being described as a global support network that gives free assistance and medical advice to seamen wherever they are. The key idea is accessible, ongoing help for health issues, guidance, and referrals for crews at sea or in ports, not just emergency evacuations or specialized services. Emergency evacuation is a narrower, crisis-focused service, medical research funding is about funding studies rather than direct crew care, and private hospital access suggests paid or exclusive care—none of which capture the broad, free medical guidance and support that seafarers worldwide can rely on.
