The following workers employed by other people will be included in the Special Social Security Scheme for Seafarers:
This also includes workers who carry out such activities at the service of fishing guilds and their federations, of maritime co-operatives and trade unions from the marine and fishing sector and shipowners' associations.
For the purposes of including workers from stevedoring companies within this Special Scheme, the company should hold the corresponding goods handling port service or self-provision licence, irrespective of the state-owned or regional nature of the port.
Sea workers who are terminated from the Special Scheme for Sea Workers and are not included in any other schemes, may sign the corresponding "Special Agreement" with the Marine Welfare Institute. This covers the contingencies of permanent disability, death and survival, due to common diseases and non-work-related injuries, retirement, social services and health care, where appropriate. Applications may be made at any time if the requirements and conditions that generally apply to other workers are met.
Spanish sailors and their children who have Spanish nationality, independently of whether or not they have been affiliated to the Spanish Social Security previously or not and regardless of the country in which they work and whether or not that country has signed an agreement on Social Security affairs, can sign a Special Agreement under the terms of Royal Decree 996/1986 of 25 April.
General conditions and requirements: the same as for the General Scheme.
Processing: Provincial Offices and Local Offices of the Marine Welfare Institute (ISM)
