Sanitary

Direct and/or indirect health benefits

The F.A.N.I.MAR operates on a not-for-profit basis with the aim of providing its maritime workers' members with health services to supplement the National Health Service.

It also provides benefits to retired members, from whom, depending on the economic resources available over time and following the approval of the C.o.P., it will request lower contributions than those due from working members.

The Fund is open to all maritime personnel working on vessels flying both national and foreign flags, in particular Captains and Chief Engineers, in view of the agreements already in force, and the administrative personnel of shipping companies that are signatories to the same agreements or to subsequent agreements.
