Social cover

The ENIM rule

A 2018 trade report says seafarers who live in France and work on foreign-flag ships must be affiliated with ENIM or an equivalent scheme. It defines residence as more than 6 months in a rolling 12, and the duty applies at 183 days. Shipyard repair periods that make the ship unusable do not count. Check the current rule for your yacht.
