The general rules governing the mooring policy referred to in article L. 341-13, applicable to the public river and maritime domains, are defined in a set of regulations drawn up, depending on the case, by order of the Prefect or by a joint order of the Prefect and the Maritime Prefect, issued after consultation with the licence holder. These regulations define the access channels and the navigation rules in these channels and in the vicinity of the zone, the measures to be taken for the marking of the mooring zone, the requirements relating to the conservation of the area, the safety of people and property, the prevention and fight against accidents and fires and against pollution of any kind.
No later than one month after being notified of this order, the authorisation holder or manager sends the head of the relevant department the instructions specifying the conditions of use of the works, equipment, installations and services for users, the rules for fire-fighting as well as the measures relating to the conservation and cleanliness of the stretch of water and the protection of ships and boats.
The licence holder must post these instructions, bring them to the attention of users and put up the necessary signs.
When the mooring area is not accessible by land to specialised fire and rescue vehicles, the authorisation holder will inform users of this by means of visible markings from land and from the water.
The authorisation does not prevent the competent authority from adopting any measures relating to the conservation and use of the public domain, navigation, water and fishing regulations and safety rules.
Marking of the mooring area and its accesses is carried out and maintained at the expense of the licence holder in accordance with the instructions of the competent authority.
The licence holder must inform the department responsible for maritime or river signage without delay of any change in the marking situation.
