Hi everybody. Im 17F and tomorrow is my medical exam. My sponsor company said I wont be allowed to continue to the marine engineering course if the hospital doesnt deem me fit for sea.

Problem is, I've been skinny my entire life. I have muscles, an okay strength, but im always underweight. Im 160cm/5ft3in at 44kg. My bmi is currently 17.5 i think

Thus whole week ive done nothing but eat but unfortunately my bmi wont go up to 18.5 which is the healthy bmi(google says so).

Could i still be considered physically fit for sea? This is the only fixable problem i have and the other is that i have a fracture near my eye from about 6months ago, other than that im perfectly healthy

for context I'm from the philippines but this company/scholarship is the Norwegian shipowners association

Would really appreciate some insight on this.

Makaka lusot po ba ako sa PEME / FIT for Sea kung underweight ako? Bukas na kasi PEME ko, since last week kain lang ako ng kain to prepare pero di parin abot, 17.5 lang bmi ko(dapat ata 18.5)

May fasting din kasi eh so di ko maka inom ng marami tas kain before timbangin.

Sana masagot po🙏🙏

Mga boss magkano usually and PEME?

Sa Nordic ang PEME ko eh, incoming student palang. Pinapatanong ni mama kung magkano need ko pambayad

Thank you po
