  We present the observation of a new intermediate redshift damped Lyman-alpha
absorption system candidate, discovered in the course of a spectroscopic
follow-up for identifying the sources detected in a 150 A wide bandpass
UV-imaging survey at 2000 A. The system displays very strong MgII and FeII
lines and a high FeII/MgII ratio, which, following photoionization models,
indicates a very high neutral hydrogen column density. Such kind of systems
being very rare at redshifts <1.7, but of prime importance for understanding
the evolution of star formation in galaxies, the newly discovered candidate
deserves further investigations in a near future
