Direct and/or Indirect Health Benefits
The F.A.N.I.MAR operates on a not-for-profit basis with the aim of providing health benefits to its seafaring members as a supplement to the National Health Service. It also provides the same benefits to retired members from whom, depending on the economic resources available over time and with the approval of the General Council, it will charge lower contributions than those payable by active members.
The Fund shall be open to all seafarers working on board national and foreign-flagged ships, in particular, in accordance with the agreements already in force, to masters and chief engineers and to the administrative staff of shipping companies which are signatories to the same agreements or to subsequent agreements.
