WELCOME to the «www.inforhone.fr» website (hereinafter called “the Site”).
In accordance with the law, we invite you to familiarise yourself with the present conditions of use (hereinafter called the “Conditions") and any specific condition appearing on the Site pages, governing your use of the «www.inforhone.fr» Site.
These Conditions relate to your statutory rights and responsibilities applicable when you use this Site.
This Site is made available to you free of charge (excluding Site connection charges) for your personal use, subject to compliance with the Conditions set out below.
By accessing this Site, by visiting it and / or using it, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Conditions, and that you undertake to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not accept these Conditions, please do not use this internet Site.
You undertake to access the information appearing on this Site solely for personal use and not for commercial use.
You can only use the Site for a legitimate purpose; no use or abuse is permitted, in particular for purposes contrary to Public Order and Good Morals.
The content of the present document may change; consequently, we invite you to consult it very regularly.
The present Site is the property of the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône.
On the Site, the CNR very quickly provides the information in its possession. This information which comes from automatic recordings, is not checked or validated.
The positions of boats which can be displayed on the map section of the site come from information provided by the AIS equipment (Automatic Identification System) of boats which is then collected by the CNR. This information is used to understand the traffic situation in the reaches. However, pleasure craft are not generally equipped with AIS (this is not required by the regulations) and thus are not shown.
Information about the RNPCs is provided on the Site in application of the Particular Regulations of the Interior Navigation Police of the Rhône-Saône Itinerary. Link for detailed explanations about RNPCs.
On the Site, the CNR provides D and D+1 forecasts of the beginning and end of RNPCs. These forecasts produced by our departments on the basis of meteorology data are of course subject to the vagaries of the climate beyond the CNR’s control and are thus subject to a large degree of uncertainty.
The information appearing on the site comes from records of boats passing through the locks entered by the CNR agents responsible for lockages into a database. These data are made available in order to provide information about the traffic situation at the locks on the Rhône. The CNR personnel responsible for lockages are instructed to concentrate on overseeing lockages and facilitating the traffic flow. Consequently, a lockage entry can be made several tens of minutes after a boat has actually passed through the lock.
As a Site user, you acknowledge that you have the skill and the means necessary to access and use this Site.
The CNR does its utmost to ensure the accuracy and the updating of the information diffused on the Site, while reserving the right to modify the content at any time and without prior notice.
