Social protection for seafarers: anticipate, protect, secure

Beyond salary, true peace of mind for a seafarer comes from the strength of their social protection. At EDGE, we are specialists in health coverage and welfare schemes tailored to crews – a naturally nomadic population often employed under different shipowners, flags, and jurisdictions. We prepare for every possible scenario – accidents, death, contract termination, disability – ensuring that every sailor and their family remain protected in all circumstances.
Our expertise allows us to optimize crew coverage whether through the French pay-as-you-go system, Anglo-Saxon capitalization models, or a hybrid mix of both. We provide long-term support to seafarers, so they can focus on their career and performance, knowing that their future – and that of their loved ones – is always safeguarded.

  • Fire, poisoning, hygiene, and biological hazards
  • Sun exposure, noise pollution, and working at heights
  • Psychosocial risks and workplace relationships

Our commitments to risk prevention

  • Identifying potential hazards

Combating harassment on board

EDGE is fully committed to preventing moral and sexual harassment at sea.

Harassment has no place on board or anywhere else.
