Full Membership
This is open to any person who has “signed-on” ships Articles plus MCA seagoing employees, lifeboat men, lighter men and fishermen. Application Forms are available from the MNA’s Membership Secretary or may be downloaded from this page (see APPLICATION & DIRECT DEBIT FORMS). Successful applicants will be advised of their nearest branch. Any member who, for any reason, is unable to join a branch will be registered as a member of the National Branch or an Overseas Area Branch. No member may be a member of more than one branch of the MNA although all members are welcome in any branch and are encouraged to take part in both social and more formal branch events. This is where they can join others with similar experiences of a unique way of life to “swing the lamp”.
Associate Membership
This is available to any other person who supports the MNA’s objectives. Seafarer’s families and friends are encouraged to support us by joining as well as business contacts and members of other maritime organisations.
Honorary Membership
This is generally bestowed by the National or Branch Executive Committee on a prominent local person who has made a significant contribution for seafarers in their area.
Subscriptions
The amount of the National Subscription fee is set by the members and may only be changed by approval of the members at an AGM. A “one-off” registration fee, to help with the costs associated with new membership, will also be required. Joining fees are due when a membership application is approved. Annual subscription fees are due on the 1st January. The payment of your first subscription fee will be acknowledged by the issue of a membership card and sent within 21 days of receipt of that payment. Any member failing to pay their fees on time will be ineligible to receive any national mailings, which includes their copy of Full Ahead. We look forward to welcoming you aboard. Great progress has been achieved through building a national consensus that speaks on behalf of merchant seafarers. Your support helps to maintain the momentum towards even more awareness of the needs of merchant seafarers, their families and dependants.
Methods of Payment
You have a choice of options with a bank Direct Debit preferred to a cheque or postal order or via PayPal.
There is also a facility to pay by Debit/Credit card - telephone National Membership Secretary if you wish to avail yourself using this facility.
The Direct Debit form is available for download - see below.
