The F.A.NI.MAR is a self-managed workers' fund that provides health and accident benefits, directly and indirectly, through conventions with leading insurance companies, taking into account concrete needs in the social field and therefore not necessarily linked to the typical mechanisms of insurance companies. The F.A.NI.MAR since it was established (1996), has always tried to meet the needs of seafarers to the best of its ability, often intervening so that compensation is sometimes provided even in those cases that do not have all the necessary prerequisites foreseen, but also have to be considered above all for the human implications they highlight.
