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.
