Social cover

The 183-day ENIM rule

In 2018 the Fédération des Industries Nautiques said a seafarer on a foreign-flag ship who lives in France must join ENIM, or an equivalent social regime. The duty starts on the day the stay in French territorial waters reaches 183 days in a rolling 12 months. Shipyard periods are excluded. Check the current rule for your yacht.
