ENIM Social Security: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how ENIM provides specialized health, pension, and accident coverage for registered professional seafarers in France.
ENIM Social Security is a specialized protection system designed specifically for people working in the maritime industry.
Who it's for
This scheme is for all registered professional seafarers working in France.
What you get
You receive social protections that are specifically tailored to the unique risks of maritime work. This includes coverage for your health, your pension, and protection in the event of an accident at sea.
What it costs you
The scheme is funded through mandatory contributions, known as cotisations maritimes, which are deducted directly from your salary. Additionally, your vessel must be officially registered to ensure compliance.
The catch to know
To ensure your pension is calculated accurately, you must declare every single day you spend at sea. Failing to report your time at sea can result in an incorrect calculation of your future pension points.
How to apply
- Ensure your vessel is officially registered.
- Confirm your status as a registered professional seafarer.
- Ensure your employer is correctly deducting the required maritime contributions from your pay.
- Consistently report all days spent at sea through the official portal.
