About vnf.fr

Voies navigables de France (VNF) is the national operator of France's inland waterway network. It maintains and modernises navigation structures such as dams and locks, manages water resources, and ensures traffic on the network. It also publishes navigation information, including the Navi mobile app, weekly network status, notices to bargemen (avis à la batellerie), the VELI freight declaration service, the EVE eco-calculator and inland ECDIS charts.

Services are grouped for recreational boaters, professional freight carriers and local authorities. The site also lists cruise stop reservations, mooring maps, boatyard booking at the Toulouse Cales de Radoub, and energy-transition funding support for the inland shipping sector.

The network is organised into regional units: Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Bassin de la Seine, Nord-Est, Strasbourg, Rhône Saône, Centre-Bourgogne and Sud-Ouest. VNF plans investment of nearly 250 million euros in 2026 to maintain, rebuild and modernise navigation works. In October 2026 it announced the creation of a new subsidiary, Ports de Saône, to strengthen the competitiveness of inland ports on the Rhône-Saône axis.

Product: Inland waterway network operation, navigation information services (Navi app, network status, notices to bargemen), VELI freight declaration and EVE eco-calculator.
