How the two vessels are propelled
The operator of a stand-on vessel should maintain course and speed, allowing the give-way vessel to take necessary action to avoid a collision. They should be prepared to alter course if the give-way vessel does not take action or if a collision becomes imminent. It is important for the stand-on vessel to stay vigilant and be ready to communicate with the give-way vessel if necessary.

An Operator's first priority if they are involved in an accident with another vessel, is to report the accident. You should do this as soon as possible. This will aid you in getting help to you and the other parties.

Maneuver to avoid a collision
The standard answer is constant bearing. As soon as a another vessel is sighted at sea, you take a compass bearing on it, and you keep on taking compass bearings. If the bearing does not change, you are on a collision course. If it's on your port side, do nothing. If it's on your starboard side, give way by changing speed or course.
