From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Établissement national des invalides de la marine (ENIM) (National Establishment for Marine Invalids) is a national public institution of France responsible for the special social security scheme for commercial, fishing, and yachting seamen.
Created in 1930 as a government agency, the ENIM became in 2010 a public administrative establishment. It is placed under the supervision of the ministers responsible for the Sea, Social Security, and the Budget and under the oversight of the new Directorate general for Maritime affairs, Fisheries and Aquaculture.[1][2]
ENIM manages the special social security scheme for sailors and seafarers in the merchant marine, fishing fleet, marine farming and boating, with regard to the risks of old age, death, accidents at work and occupational diseases, illness, maternity and invalidity. It also ensures the taxation and collection of contributions and social security contributions ensuring the special social security regime for seafarers.[1][3]
ENIM insures around 40,000 active sailors and around 120,000 pensioners in mainland France and overseas, their dependents as well as high school and university students studying at maritime educational establishments.[4]
