Finnish Seamen Service´s support to the occupational well-being activities

FSS supports crewmembers freetime activities while vessel is staying in the harbour in Finland or abroad. 

Year 2023 FSS can support 100 euro / vessel with transport to the activity and back to ship. Crewmembers can plan the activity and make suggestion to the FSS beforehand. 

As a compensation to the support vessels crew can write an article to FSS:s magazine or social media with photos.
