When power driven vessels are crossing at right angles what should the vessel on the right do?
If they are BOTH power driven vessels, the vessel to "right" (Starboard) would be the "stand on" vessel, maintaining course and speed. The Vessel on the "left" (Port) is the "give way" vessel and will have to (if) possible avoid crossing in front of the stand on vessel. Please refer to the link below. Rule 15
When two power driven vessels are about to cross paths what should the operator of the power driven vessel on the right do?
The power vehicle is on the right, therefore it is looking at the other vehicle's green light, making the vehicle on the right the stand on vehicle (meaning it maintains present course and speed).
